Argggh.... We have a real problem then and 
I'm not sure how to describe it except other 
than to talk about infoset services.  In other 
words, how do I know what an XML parser does 
in terms of real code?  It would seem to me 
as others (eg, Rick Jeliffe) has suggested, 
that is the problem to be worked before the 
W3C launches into a subset activity.  If 
the subsetting has begun, it might be a good 
idea to kill that off quickly until this 
is fixed and people are talking about the 
same thing.  Otherwise, XML interop is a 
myth beyond knowing a file is well-formed.

The generic XML processor is a myth once you get past the syntax.
