I’d better say it right now, though XML 1.1 and namespaces in XML 1.1 do not include that many changes compared to XML 1.0 and namespaces in XML 1.0, these changes are enough to break the compatibility: a well formed XML 1.1 document isn’t necessarily a well formed XML 1.0 document.
The World Wide Web Consortium today released Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 and Namespaces in XML 1.1 as W3C Recommendations. XML 1.1 addresses Unicode, control character, and line ending issues. Namespaces 1.1 incorporates errata corrections and provides a mechanism to undeclare prefixes.
This article aims only to give you enough information to process Unicode text that is received from one process (or file) and sent to another. This covers a large range of XML applications, in particular many that are designed to run on a webserver.

Xml 2003 Reflections - Adam Bosworth Keynote
Adam Bosworth of BEA delivered the opening keynote address on Wednesday. He started by reminding us of the dream that XML geeks shared back in 1998: Information should not get lost in presentation. Actual XML practice has to some extent diverged into two separate streams — documents on one hand, and application data on the other — but together they have helped take back the world from the “hideous complexity and fragility” of information presented in .DOC, .EXE, etc. files.
Web Services too complicated?? YES! Remember, I can still buy a book on Amazon with just HTML and cookies. Why the trend for complication?

I don’t see the issue here. I think it would be a good thing, especially since many specs already talk about the infoset.

The XML Infoset specification [1] defines a number of Information Items and their properties. The referenced RDF schema [2] is a formal description of the Infoset.
