Re: issue-dbooth-3: Ambiguity in an XML document's intended GRDDL results (#issue-faithful-infoset )

Dan please clarify

(either "yes" or perhaps "no" and some other text from Harry that does 
not reflect WG position)

I take the comment "Please be more conservative in representing the 
position of the WG" to refer principally to:

[[
1) Minimize XML preprocessing by not having the source document use 
XInclude or schema validation.
2) Have only one representation of the information resource given by the 
URI be available, and so not use content negotiation.
3) Restrict GRDDL transformations to deterministic finite state 
automata. 4) If an author wishes to guarantee that a XML document is 
reflected by some particular RDF document, that they author not use 
GRDDL be serve RDF directly and specify that using rel="alternate" in 
XHTML to link to a RDF document in the representation or serve it via 
content negotiation in terms of XML docuemnts with URIs (Are there other 
ways for an XML document to directly link to an RDF document?)
]]

On my reading, the rest of the message did seem to reflect agreed WG 
position.
