XML 1.0 (Second Edition)
Enables generic SGML to be served, received, and processed on the Web in the way that is now possible with HTML. XML has been designed for ease of implementation and for interoperability with both SGML and HTML. (W3C Recommendation 6 October 2000)
XML Base
This document proposes a facility, similar to that of HTML BASE, for defining base URIs for parts of XML documents. (W3C Recommendation 27 June 2001)
XML Fragment Interchange
Attempts to define a way to send fragments of an XML document-regardless of whether the fragments are predetermined entities or not-without having to send all of the containing document up to the part in question. (W3C Candidate Recommendation 12 February 2001)
XML Information Set (InfoSet)
Provides a set of definitions for use in other specifications that need to refer to the information in an XML document. (W3C Recommendation 24 October 2001)
XML-Signature Syntax and Processing
Provide integrity, message authentication, and/or signer authentication services for data of any type, whether located within the XML that includes the signature or elsewhere (W3C Proposed Recommendation 20 August 2001).
