Just the original terms of the project. Syntax (SGML-lite), Style
(DSSSL-lite), and Linking (HyTime-lite).

Of course. Personally, I'd draw the line at syntax and leave the rest
well enough alone as their own separate projects.

It's an important issue, but I don't think it's anything to do with XML.
I don't view the original and reasonably modest XML Infoset as
particularly central to XML either, though it's certainly based on XML.
I prefer to leave transmogrification to Calvin and Hobbes.
