    <thetext>At various points (e.g. 3.2), the SML-IF document describes SML-IF 
documents (and other XML documents) at the level of the octet stream.

Some WG members believe that it would be better to define SML-IF
exclusively (or at least primarily) at the level of the XML information
set of the documents in question, and to leave all details of the
character encoding scheme and similar issues to the XML parsing layer
of the stack.  This affects the description of SML-IF documents in
the third paragraph of 3.2, the description of physical embedding
of model documents in the fifth paragraph (and following) of 3.2,
and possibly other parts of the spec.  (A separate issue is to be raised
concerning the encoding question in 3.2 paragraph 3.)</thetext>
