The result is a missed opportunity to clear up the confusion as to what parts of an XML document are information-bearing and what parts are not. At some stage we need to invert this whole edifice: the InfoSet data model should be the primary specification, and the XML and Namespaces specs (hopefully merged) should merely describe one possible interface for creating an InfoSet.
