The Infoset Revolution
- We’ve
sort of understood that XML is special because of its universality
- Schemas and
stylesheets and queries and … are all notated in XML
- But
now we can understand this in a deeper way
- The Infoset is
the common currency of all the XML specs and languages
- XML
applications can best be understood as Infoset pipelines
- Angle brackets
and equal signs are just an Infoset’s way of perpetuating itself
