There is not consensus on the suggested change. I am strongly opposed. This proposal would require re-opening Faithful Infoset. The current specification is correct to operate on an XPath node tree. XSLT, which is our assumed default transformation environment, employs a node tree. In all of our discussions of the logical consequences of our decisions, we have assumed an XPath node tree which implies XML Normalization, including whitespace handling, internal entity resolution, namespace-qualification, character encoding, and so on. David's suggested changes would entail changing a large number of variables which have not been discussed or accounted for. Regards, Murray
