Actrually, I don't think so. A PSVI is not one kind of Infoset, at
least if by Infoset you're referring to the thing described by the
XML Information Set specification. A PSVI includes an Infoset but
there's more to it than that, specifically types and validity
information. By analogy, a laptop computer is not a kind of CPU even
though it contains a CPU. A PSVI is not a kind of infoset even
though it contains an Infoset.
