Re: PSVI in the Infoset Spec. (Re: Datatypes vs anarchy)

Thanks for the prod and for forwarding my posting.  I guess I was thinking more about a future Infoset that will support XPath 2.0 (which might get data types and perhaps other information from a Schema).  But it makes sense to set the precedent and support the notion of data-source today for DTD-supplied data.

take it easy,
