Re: DOM core changes wrt XML document properties

[resending, with reference]

The XML Core Working Group has noted the proposed [1] removal from DOM
Core of the xmlEncoding, xmlStandalone and xmlVersion members of the
Document interface.

Could you possibly fill us in a bit on the background to this
decision?  Is there some survey of usage that helped inform your
choice of properties to drop?  Are there particular minutes of telcons
or f2f meetings where this issue was discussed that you can point us
to?

Thanks,

ht, on behalf of the XML Core WG
