You're just quntifying the scope of the XPath data model differently 
to Simon. Simon seems to be saying XPath's model of XML is for the 
benefit of allowing the evaluation XPath expressions (that's pretty 
much what the recc says).You seem to be saying XPath's model of XML 
is for XML while ignoring the fact it was designed specifically for 
XPath processors, not for anything adn everything that wants to 
process XML (that would be the Infoset I guess). So I don't see any 
need to question people's sanity if they don't share your pov. No 
big deal really.
