Since there are no circularities, it just shows layers. Why is that
confusing?
Some people on the list call for thinner layers: but that would make the
diagram more complicated.

  I wonder how much more
confusing the diagram would get if the Infoset were added in-- along with
which specs rely on which infoset contributions.  Also when the second
version of some of the specs finally mature-- it may become even more
intricate-- for example fitting in data types from schemas into XPath?
Schemas rely on XPath rely on Schemas... a circular set of arrows?
