XML infosets are already wide spread and will become even moreso in the
coming years. That is enough reason to have a data model that is
somewhat bound to the XML 1.0 syntax. However as many proposals for
alternate syntaxes for XML (including binary ones) have shown this
doesn't mean that XML infosets necessarily have to be
UnicodeWithAngleBrackets.
