Hmm, well, what kind of formats are expressible in the Infoset?  Can GIF
be expressed, for example?  I don't know, but was assuming it couldn't.
If it can, then I think your proposed definition is a fine one.

My response to Dave where I brought up the Infoset was meant to suggest
that being less restrictive was good, but still not as good as not
restricting I/O formats at all.
