You are right, it is covered.  Sorry.  That is all the rest of my 
message was discussing.

Thanks for your help on these issues.

While I think that these "tradeoffs" could be seen as possible reasons 
for applications not to subset XML on their own, I hope they are seen as 
reasons for the TAG to standardize a subset that matches SOAP that could 
encourage tools that support the subset that permit efficient processing 
of the subset, detection of violations, development of more subset 
applications that will more-directly interoperate, etc.
