Note that the passage you quoted does not appear anywhere in the spec. XML has aspects of a binary format. Specifically, the encoding can't be changed. That's why it must be passed to a parser undecoded and why it has the MIME type of a binary format (application/). It also has aspects of a text format. Specifically, the ability to be read and edited by humans with nothing but basic tools. Considering neither "text format" nor "binary format" are actually defined, it's silly to debate without first putting out definitions. In reply to Re^8: Native newline encoding
