Dear Efficient XML Interchange Working Group, http://www.w3.org/TR/2007/WD-exi-20070716/#DistinguishingBits claims: This bit sequence cannot occur as the first two bits of a well-formed XML document and represents the minimum length EXI document prefix required to distinguish EXI documents from XML documents. This is false, the XML Recommendations do not place any restrictions on the binary represention of well-formed XML documents, I might well come up with a character encoding where any sequence of bytes maps to <?xml version='1.0' encoding='x-myencoding'?><x/>. This would not violate the XML Recommendation's requirements in any way. The paragraph after the one quoted above is more accurate, I would suggest to remove the former. regards, -- Björn Höhrmann · mailto:bjoern@hoehrmann.de · http://bjoern.hoehrmann.de Weinh.
