I don't think I said that.  I use "the Infoset" to mean the
meta-specification called "XML Information Set", and "an infoset"
to mean what the Infoset says can result from parsing a well-formed
namespace-compliant XML document.

As the Infoset says, infosets can be created in other ways than by
parsing; and as it does not say, they can contain information items and
properties not mentioned in the Infoset (but this is implied by the
absence of exclusion clauses).
