I've used "subset" in the FAQ where I think the word conveys sufficient of what you describe for it to make sense to the reader. I also use the phrase "application profile" once where it describes better the "gray area" you mention of XML being neither flesh nor fowl. How we describe it here and how we describe it to the world outside may be of importance to the acceptance of XML, so I'd appreciate it if anyone has better phraseology than I have used in the FAQ so far. XML's role as "SGML Lite" is currently easiest conveyed by the concept of "subset", I think, but if we can find a less loaded term it might be useful. ///Peter
