xml-dev - RE: Arbitrary Infoset boundaries (was Re: Common XML - Final

[Jonathan Borden <jborden@mediaone.net>]

But if DOM L3 will be based upon the Infoset, and the Infoset doesn't
contain DTDs then how will that work? Will there be an Infoset L2,3 etc? Or
won't DOM L3 be Infoset based ... in which case we are back to the question
that started this whole discussion. Now I'm confused.
