Re: PIs considered harmful Was: XML-SW, a thought experiment

/ "Rick Jelliffe" <ricko@topologi.com> was heard to say:
[...]
| If we say that a document should have integrity even if

| must be inappropriate.

I think that's a circular argument. If we'd used PIs for namespace
declarations, we wouldn't be asking for (or expecting) integrity if we
removed all the PIs :-)
