Notes:

While at the time of writing the Infoset was the most relevant spec, now there's XDM, which is more relevant now.

It also might make sense to describe the differences between XML syntax and the more abstract view of Infoset/XML in detail, in particular when it comes to nasty edge cases such as unserializable Infosets, and the fact that some information present in the XML syntax gets lost in the more abstract view.
--VERIFIER NOTES--
As the report says,"at the time of writing the Infoset was the most relevant spec" -- and errata are here to report things that would have been considered errors at the time of writing, but they got missed. This isn't that.
