Re: Slight architectural discrepancy between XMl 1.0 & the infoset

/ Tim Bray <tbray@textuality.com> was heard to say:
| This seems serious to me, the infoset seems to be requiring

| would not expect. -Tim

As James Clark has observed, there's nothing in the XML Recommendation
that says a parser has to report start and end tags. I don't think
it's a problem. The Infoset doesn't require you to do anything, it
provides a vocabulary to describe unambiguously what your processor
does produce or does require.

                                          norm
