I think there are going to be two patterns of use: some applications are going to try to parse with a strict XML parser and use the ER parser only when that fails, others are going to only use the ER parser. I don't think we should try to favor one pattern over the other. I think it's important that an ER parser produces the same infoset as an XML parser for all WF XML documents that don't have an internal or external subset. I'd like it to be true for *all* WF XML documents, but I can imagine that we might decide that the ER parser doesn't handle every possible peculiarity of DTD parsing.
