The target audience of the infoset REC was authors of specifications and
the readers of said specs and not end users. I quote from the
introduction
"This specification defines an abstract data set called the XML
Information Set (Infoset). Its purpose is to provide a consistent set of
definitions for use in other specifications that need to refer to the
information in a well-formed XML document [XML]. "
