Are you suggesting that these are orthogonal divides? I'm not sure
that they are, and wonder whether document vs. infoset is actually
document vs. data, just in a slightly different guise.
Exposing these different approaching is a useful exercise, if
for no other reason that illuminating the viewpoints and pre-conceptions
of the folk taking part in the debates.
