"XQuery Data Model" seems apropos (for your #2 and for Hans-Juergen as 
well).

The XDM specification (arguably) anticipates alternate serialization 
and representation of the model (the model is central, so persistence 
and transmission is peripheral, so long as it's not lossy).

But I don't think that those things are true for XML, which is defined 
as a particular set of productions composed of unicode characters.

Amy!
