Excellent. I've got no argument whatsoever with that practice. My motive in commenting was a concern that you were (or could be taken to be) advising that app specifications should be drawn at the level of the property set, which IMO could cause problems where you need to integrate another DOM implementation or track evolutions of the model over multiple releases. > We do use XML texts during use case definition as a way of > establishing a > "service level agreement" between the developers of the > different tiers. This is precisely the type of situation where the relatively mature and well-defined status of the XML 1.0 spec, as compared in particular to Infoset, is of great service. I took you to be discouraging such an approach; clearly that concern was unfounded! While we're here, I'm delighted to acknowledge that yesterday's publication of the first Infoset WD is a big step toward letting application development rest on an appropriate content abstraction, as you rightly advise.
