The question is, what does the infoset specification
provide that would answer or help create an answer
to the request for equivalence of any given XML set
under use by multiple systems?
(I don't know how to put Timbl's "chunk" term more precisely
given namespaces.)

I view the XML Information Set spec as defining a vocabulary for
other specs to use. It's not a serialization spec. The extent
to which it helps in that area is that at least it helps people
agree what they are talking about. Or, they can argue about
ambiguities in the infoset spec, but a`t least they have a
starting point for discussion.
So I for one see the Infoset as helping, although I don't like
the usage illustrated in "an XML parser produces an infoset",
because it confuses description with the thing described.
