This is nicely put, with the caveat that some of us might like to consider 
type annotations to be a higher level than an infoset augmented with 
defaults -- which can, after all, always be considered as "just strings". 
In either case, it appears to be a semantic hierarchy, as contextual 
information is brought to bear as you go from bottom to top.

Cheers,
