Subject: RE: Datatype section

The section

XML is an implementation detail (an important one yes, but we need to start
from an implementation independent viewpoint.).

Yes!

I hope it was clear that my comments were about the definition of concepts, not about the data formats.  But, it is correct that even comments about definitions are out of place until we have agreed what data types are needed.


Cordially,
