[xmlvoc-comment] XML Standards: Summary with comments

Greetings,

To facilitate any discussion of XML standards in the scope of our effort 
(if any) I am reposting the list with Holger's comments and answers to 
questions he posed yesterday. To enhance readability (at least for me) I 
have introduced spaces between the standard names. I have not inserted 
any other comments in the listing other than to respond to factual 
questions so we can save the debate for the conference call. ;-)
