This is nice.
This might be going too far... but why not have a complete
set of features; describing every assumption all the way down
to what us SML-DEV people are calling MinXML.
Feature list:
* mixed-content
* attributes
* pi
* parsed-entities
* ...
And then, a list of packages...
MinXML := { } // that's right, the empty set
CommonXML := { attributes, mixed-content, ... }
UniversalXML := CommonXML union { parsed-entities , ... }
...
Then; perhaps the W3C could approve something like...
<?xml version = "1.1"
base = "common"
plus = "default-attribute-values"
plus = "processing-instruction"
?>
This would say; this text uses all of the features
defined by "CommonXML" feature list, plus two
additional features. If a text uses a feature
which is not there... it is now *explicit*
