There was interim agreement on two things which I think we should
note, before moving on to the harder stuff
1) All serialized output from conformant processors *must* be
well-formed and namespace-well-formed *XML* [i.e. impl-defned whether
1.0 or 1.1];
2) We need to say something more about what conformant processors
*must* and *should* do wrt the information content of what flows
through. I'm thinking in terms of something like this:
Except where necessary to faithfully implement the semantics of a
step, every step *must* carry the information in its input(s),
options and parameters corresponding to the infoset properties
[local name]
[namespace name]
[children]
[attributes]
[normalized value]
[parent]
[owner]
[base URI]
through unchanged to its output(s).
The information corresponding to
[prefix]
[in-scope namespaces]
[namespace attributes]
[attribute type]
*should* be carried over insofar as possible.
