Re: Representing whole XML documents

This page is part of the web mail archives of SRFI 107 from before July 7th, 2015. The new archives for SRFI 107 contain all messages, not just those from before July 7th, 2015.

I propose a SRFI-108 style representation of whole documents using
#xml{...}, where ... represents the whole document (the exact syntax

S-expression ($xml-root version encoding standalone . children), where
"version", "encoding", and "standalone" are either string literals or #f.

Seems like a good idea.  However, this seems a place where keywords would
be preferable:

#&xml{version: 1.1 encoding: "UTF-8" standalone: #t
  doctype: "HTML"
  public: "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN"
  #<!--comment-->
  #<html>...</>
