xml-dev - Re: Need Information Set Clarification

[Jacek Kopecky <jacek@idoox.com>]

Hello Claude. 8-)

Infoset only says what kinds of information are extractable from an
XML document. The first quote probably means that DOM and XPath nodes
may be more or less granular. The second quote says DOM level 1 core
does allow access to all the infoset items that Infoset requires.
