John & I agree on everything except for the XML1.1 character repertoire,
and his even-handed view of syntax and infoset is admirable. I feel I
have to keep banging the syntax drum because if someone doesn't, there
are a lot of people who seem to want to take the transparent-bits-on-the
-wire away from me and hide them all behind a great big opaque API,
because that's how Real Programmers Work. Feh. I'm probably
excessively paranoid on this issue. -Tim
