I am not sure that having the words XML aid interpretation. Also, there
has been some work to create alternative, non-XML serialisations of the
infoset - see Fast Infoset for example, which is on an ITU-T
standardisation track. We are not talking specifically about the XML
serialisation in the places where XML Infoset is mentioned (although of
course XML serialisation is the standard for CellML, anything else would
be an extension). However, given that the definition of CellML Infoset
would reference the XML Information Sets specification, I am not sure
that we really need to repeat XML everywhere.

Best regards,
Andrew
