Re: [xml-dev] what do "compositor" and "particle" mean?

"particles" come from XML itself - http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/

[[
  The grammar is built on content particles (cps), which consist of
names, choice lists of content particles, or sequence lists of content
particles
]]

"compositor" is Schema's term for the operators that let you compose
(put together) particles into sequences, choices, or "alls" :)
