Have to admit, I'm falling toward the subset camp. I talk a lot about 'simple
XML', which is just the instance syntax without declarations of any kind
except the XML one of course. I tried writing about the layer in between that
and what I consider the 'meat' of validation, elements and attributes, and
can't say I was happy, though I completed the exercise.
I'll stick with XML 1.0 - all this time figuring out its quirks, and I'll
still admit to liking it - but I can certainly understand why a lot of people
could get along with just a subset. I'd have been a lot more comfortable with
a three layer spec, for
-instance syntax
-structural declarations
-minimization declarations
But I can always pray for that next time around.
