If an XML processor processes characters, not bytes, then what software takes the bytes in a file and generates characters?
Are you saying that an XML processors builds on top of another piece of software (which converts bytes to characters)?
How is a character presented to an XML processor if it is not presented as one or more bytes?
Perhaps I should use the word "file" rather than "document"? For example: The contents of an XML file is a sequence of zeros and ones called bits.
