Henry, Thoughts on http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/doc/elabInfoset.html follow. Section 1. the default model 'before any application-specific processing' Well, it maybe that the top-down elaboration is in fact layers of standard and app-specific processing. For example, there may be in include which includes an element which means to translate into French which includes a an encrypted element which includes an element which means to return the current whether for a given city, which includes ...and so on. The top-down elaboration model is general, and has to be the interface between different systems. Sect. 2. The infoset "The default processing model question can be rephrased as "Is there an infoset other than the one produced by a conformant XML parser which can and should be defined?"" It can ... if everything has to be an infoset. of course lots of related infosets can be defined. What we are looking for is something the tag has been groping for along the lines of the intent of the message. Sect 3. "Generic operations and the elaborated infoset" > "The inventory of such 'generic' applications is small, and > identifying its membership correctly is likely to be one of the hard > parts of this project, but here are three candidates: > > XInclude > XML Encryption > XML Signature" Actually I don't see that signature is a good example, but I think XSLT in the mode where the template document contais xslt bits is a very good example. See"XSLT Literal Result Element as Stylesheet (LRES)" in http://www.w3.org/DesignIssues/XML The set of namespaces whcih can do a syntactic elaboration is extensible surely. People may define dtheir own lcoal ones. 4. Elaboration defined Doesn't entity resolution have to mesh with this (if consider it at all?) 5.2 Quoting By "Accordingly, we define http://www.example.org/quote as an elaborating namespace," do you mean, "For example, we could define http://www.example.org/quote to be a quoting namespace?" Not sure I follow. An eleborating ns would return a graph which woudl then be elaborated again, I thought. Tim
