I agree with Tim Bray (and perhaps Noah Mendelson, in part) that the PSVI should be renamed. * First because it may not be PSV, as he says. * Second because it does not have a relationship-preserving re-serialization to XML (except of course by stripping out the augmentations and requiring validation again) and therefore is non-XML. PSVI does not draw out this discontinuity enough. * Third because "Schema" is a codeword for W3C XML Schemas, but other schema languages could be used. I think "Type-augmented Infoset" could be improved, though, because it is not just that there is additional information added to some notional XML information set, it is that there are non-XML information items added. The XML Information Set spec generally uses "Information Item" to mean an instance rather than a type, so "augmented" is not very satisfactory. I suggest just "Typed InfoSet." Cheers Rick Jelliffe
