I've made it very clear that THE basis for my thinking on encoding damage
indicators is to enable "guaranteed" integrity for damaged, interchanged
plain text. My reasoning has no specific connection to XML (I have only
responded to some recommended XML standards), but is applicable to ANY
meta-textual markup for damaged text. My reasoning goes to the core of
what separates text from meta-text. THAT, I believe, is the proper basis
for discussion this discussion, not the merits or demerits of any
particular markup system.
