I assume Mike is talking about the fact that it is not possible to embed one well-formed document in another and still be conformant XML if the embedded document contains a prolog. One can resort to hacks to get around this (PIs or CDATA sections) but I assume some would rather have a "blessed" way of achieving this.

No. I'm not interested in seeing what the XMLP WG says in some formal round
of mumbo-jumbo. If you want to put forth such a vacuous accusations as "XML
1.x is not composable as specified", please justify it here in language that
proves it is not just a case of character assassination by quiddity.
