Added the TAF format structures and XML format structures, I'm making up TAF

(textual archive format), but named it wrong, this seemed easier than redoing it all.

<h2><a name="sec-intro" id="sec-intro" />1 Introduction</h2><p>Extensible Markup Language, abbreviated XML, describes a class of data
+objects called <a title="XML Document" href="#dt-xml-doc">XML documents</a> and partially
+describes the behavior of computer programs which process them. XML is an
+application profile or restricted form of SGML, the Standard Generalized Markup
+Language <a href="#ISO8879">[ISO 8879]</a>. By construction, XML documents are conforming
+SGML documents.</p><p>XML documents are made up of storage units called <a title="Entity" href="#dt-entity">entities</a>,
+which contain either parsed or unparsed data. Parsed data is made up of <a title="Character" href="#dt-character">characters</a>, some of which form <a title="Character Data" href="#dt-chardata">character
+data</a>, and some of which form <a title="Markup" href="#dt-markup">markup</a>.
+Markup encodes a description of the document's storage layout and logical
+structure. XML provides a mechanism to impose constraints on the storage layout
+and logical structure.</p><p>[<a name="dt-xml-proc" id="dt-xml-proc" title="XML Processor">Definition</a>: A software module called
+an <b>XML processor</b> is used to read XML documents and provide access
+to their content and structure.] [<a name="dt-app" id="dt-app" title="Application">Definition</a>: It
+is assumed that an XML processor is doing its work on behalf of another module,
+called the <b>application</b>.] This specification describes
+the required behavior of an XML processor in terms of how it must read XML
+data and the information it must provide to the application.</p><div class="div2"> <h3><a name="sec-origin-goals" id="sec-origin-goals" />1.1 Origin and Goals</h3><p>XML was developed by an XML Working Group (originally known as the SGML
+Editorial Review Board) formed under the auspices of the World Wide Web Consortium
+(W3C) in 1996. It was chaired by Jon Bosak of Sun Microsystems with the active
+participation of an XML Special Interest Group (previously known as the SGML
+Working Group) also organized by the W3C. The membership of the XML Working
+Group is given in an appendix. Dan Connolly served as the Working Group's contact with
+the W3C.</p><p>The design goals for XML are:</p><ol type="1"><li><p>XML shall be straightforwardly usable over the Internet.</p></li><li><p>XML shall support a wide variety of applications.</p></li><li><p>XML shall be compatible with SGML.</p></li><li><p>It shall be easy to write programs which process XML documents.</p></li><li><p>The number of optional features in XML is to be kept to the absolute
+minimum, ideally zero.</p></li><li><p>XML documents should be human-legible and reasonably clear.</p></li><li><p>The XML design should be prepared quickly.</p></li><li><p>The design of XML shall be formal and concise.</p></li><li><p>XML documents shall be easy to create.</p></li><li><p>Terseness in XML markup is of minimal importance.</p></li></ol><p>This specification, together with associated standards (Unicode
+<a href="#Unicode">[Unicode]</a> and ISO/IEC 10646 <a href="#ISO10646">[ISO/IEC 10646]</a>
+for characters, Internet RFC 3066 <a href="#RFC1766">[IETF RFC 3066]</a> for
+language identification tags, ISO 639 <a href="#ISO639">[ISO 639]</a>
+for language name codes, and ISO 3166 <a href="#ISO3166">[ISO 3166]</a> for
+country name codes), provides all the information necessary to
+understand XML Version 1.1 and construct computer
+programs to process it.</p><p>This version of the XML specification may be distributed freely, as long as
+all text and legal notices remain intact.</p></div><div class="div2"> <h3><a name="sec-terminology" id="sec-terminology" />1.2 Terminology</h3><p>The terminology used to describe XML documents is defined in the body of

+of 2004, has remained (by intention) unchanged with respect to what
+is well-formed XML and what is not. This stability has been
+extremely useful for interoperability. However, the Unicode
+Standard on which XML 1.0 relies for character specifications has
+not remained static, evolving from version 2.0 to version 4.0 and
+beyond. Characters not present in Unicode 2.0 may already be used
+in XML 1.0 character data. However, they are not allowed in XML
+names such as element type names, attribute names, enumerated
+attribute values, processing instruction targets, and so on. In
+addition, some characters that should have been permitted in XML
+names were not, due to oversights and inconsistencies in Unicode
+2.0.</p><p>The overall philosophy of names has changed since XML 1.0.
+Whereas XML 1.0 provided a rigid definition of names, wherein
+everything that was not permitted was forbidden, XML 1.1 names are
+designed so that everything that is not forbidden (for a specific
+reason) is permitted. Since Unicode will continue to grow past
+version 4.0, further changes to XML can be avoided by allowing
+almost any character, including those not yet assigned, in
+names.</p><p>In addition, XML 1.0 attempts to adapt to the line-end
+conventions of various modern operating systems, but discriminates
+against the conventions used on IBM and IBM-compatible mainframes.
+As a result, XML documents on mainframes are not plain text files
+according to the local conventions. XML 1.0 documents generated on
+mainframes must either violate the local line-end conventions, or
+employ otherwise unnecessary translation phases before parsing and
+after generation. Allowing straightforward interoperability is
+particularly important when data stores are shared between
+mainframe and non-mainframe systems (as opposed to being copied
+from one to the other). Therefore XML 1.1 adds NEL (#x85) to the
+list of line-end characters. For completeness, the Unicode line
+separator character, #x2028, is also supported.
+</p><p>Finally, there is considerable demand to define a standard representation
+of arbitrary Unicode characters in XML documents. Therefore, XML 1.1
+allows the use of character references to the control characters #x1 through
+#x1F, most of which are forbidden in XML 1.0. For reasons of robustness,
+however, these characters still cannot be used directly in documents. In
+order to improve the robustness of character encoding detection, the additional
+control characters #x7F through #x9F, which were freely allowed in XML 1.0
+documents, now must also appear only as character references. (Whitespace
+characters are of course exempt.) The minor sacrifice of backward compatibility
+is considered not significant. Due to potential problems with APIs,
+#x0 is still forbidden both directly and as a character reference.
+</p><p>Finally, XML 1.1 defines a set of constraints called "full
+normalization" on XML documents, which document creators
+<em class="rfc2119" title="Keyword in RFC 2119 context">SHOULD</em> adhere to, and document processors
+<em class="rfc2119" title="Keyword in RFC 2119 context">SHOULD</em> verify.  Using fully normalized documents
+ensures that identity comparisons of names, attribute values, and
+character content can be made correctly by simple binary comparison of
+Unicode strings.</p><p>A new XML version, rather than a set of errata to XML 1.0, is
+being created because the changes affect the definition of
+well-formed documents. XML 1.0 processors must continue to reject
+documents that contain new characters in XML names, new line-end
+conventions, and references to control characters. The distinction between XML 1.0 and XML 1.1 documents
+is indicated by the version number information in the XML
+declaration at the start of each document.

+external entities, <span>may fail to</span> be detected by a non-validating processor. Examples

+Recursion</cite></a>, as well as some of the cases described as <a href="#forbidden"><cite>forbidden</cite></a> in <a href="#entproc"><b>4.4 XML Processor Treatment of Entities and References</b></a>.</p></li><li><p>The information passed from the processor to the application may
+vary, depending on whether the processor reads parameter and external entities.
+For example, a non-validating processor <span>may fail to</span> <a href="#AVNormalize"><cite>normalize</cite></a>
+attribute values, <a href="#included"><cite>include</cite></a> the replacement
+text of internal entities, or supply <a href="#sec-attr-defaults"><cite>default
+attribute values</cite></a>, where doing so depends on having read declarations
+in external or parameter entities.</p></li></ul><p>For maximum reliability in interoperating between different XML processors,
+applications which use non-validating processors <em class="rfc2119" title="Keyword in RFC 2119 context">SHOULD NOT</em> rely on any behaviors
+not required of such processors.  Applications which require DTD facilities

+noted in <a href="#sec-element-content"><b>3.2.1 Element Content</b></a>, it is required that content
+models in element type declarations be deterministic. This requirement is <a title="For Compatibility" href="#dt-compat">for compatibility</a> with SGML (which calls deterministic
+content models "unambiguous"); XML processors built
+using SGML systems may flag non-deterministic content models as errors.</p><p>For example, the content model <code>((b, c) | (b, d))</code> is non-deterministic,
+because given an initial <code>b</code> the XML processor
+cannot know which <code>b</code> in the model is being matched without looking
+ahead to see which element follows the <code>b</code>. In this case, the two references
+to <code>b</code> can be collapsed into a single reference, making the model read <code>(b,
+(c | d))</code>. An initial <code>b</code> now clearly matches only a single name
+in the content model. The processor doesn't need to look ahead to see what follows; either <code>c</code> or <code>d</code>
+would be accepted.</p><p>More formally: a finite state automaton may be constructed from the content
+model using the standard algorithms, e.g. algorithm 3.5 in section 3.9 of
+Aho, Sethi, and Ullman <a href="#Aho">[Aho/Ullman]</a>. In many such algorithms, a follow
+set is constructed for each position in the regular expression (i.e., each
+leaf node in the syntax tree for the regular expression); if any position
+has a follow set in which more than one following position is labeled with
+the same element type name, then the content model is in error and may be
+reported as an error.</p><p>Algorithms exist which allow many but not all non-deterministic content
+models to be reduced automatically to equivalent deterministic models; see
+Brüggemann-Klein 1991 <a href="#ABK">[Brüggemann-Klein]</a>.</p></div><div class="div1"> <h2><a name="sec-guessing" id="sec-guessing" />E Autodetection of Character Encodings (Non-Normative)</h2><p>The XML encoding declaration functions as an internal label on each entity,
+indicating which character encoding is in use. Before an XML processor can
+read the internal label, however, it apparently has to know what character
+encoding is in use — which is what the internal label is trying to indicate.
+In the general case, this is a hopeless situation. It is not entirely hopeless
+in XML, however, because XML limits the general case in two ways: each implementation
+is assumed to support only a finite set of character encodings, and the XML
+encoding declaration is restricted in position and content in order to make
+it feasible to autodetect the character encoding in use in each entity in
+normal cases. Also, in many cases other sources of information are available
+in addition to the XML data stream itself. Two cases may be distinguished,
+depending on whether the XML entity is presented to the processor without,
+or with, any accompanying (external) information. We consider the first case
+first.</p><div class="div2"> <h3><a name="sec-guessing-no-ext-info" id="sec-guessing-no-ext-info" />E.1 Detection Without External Encoding Information</h3><p>Because each XML entity not accompanied by external
+encoding information and not in UTF-8 or UTF-16 encoding must
+begin with an XML encoding declaration, in which the first characters must
+be '<code>&lt;?xml</code>', any conforming processor can detect, after two
+to four octets of input, which of the following cases apply. In reading this
+list, it may help to know that in UCS-4, '&lt;' is "<code>#x0000003C</code>"
+and '?' is "<code>#x0000003F</code>", and the Byte Order Mark
+required of UTF-16 data streams is "<code>#xFEFF</code>". The notation
+<var>##</var> is used to denote any byte value except that two consecutive
+<var>##</var>s cannot be both 00.</p><p>With a Byte Order Mark:</p><table border="1" frame="border" summary="Encoding detection summary"><tbody><tr><td rowspan="1" colspan="1"><code>00 00 FE

+determine the encoding, section 4.3.3 still requires that the encoding declaration,
+if present, be read and that the encoding name be checked to match the actual
+encoding of the entity. Also, it is possible that new character encodings
+will be invented that will make it necessary to use the encoding declaration
+to determine the encoding, in cases where this is not required at present.</p></div><p>This level of autodetection is enough to read the XML encoding declaration
+and parse the character-encoding identifier, which is still necessary to distinguish
+the individual members of each family of encodings (e.g. to tell UTF-8 from
+8859, and the parts of 8859 from each other, or to distinguish the specific
+EBCDIC code page in use, and so on).</p><p>Because the contents of the encoding declaration are restricted to characters
+from the ASCII repertoire (however encoded),
+a processor can reliably read the entire encoding declaration as soon as it
+has detected which family of encodings is in use. Since in practice, all widely
+used character encodings fall into one of the categories above, the XML encoding
+declaration allows reasonably reliable in-band labeling of character encodings,
+even when external sources of information at the operating-system or transport-protocol
+level are unreliable. Character encodings such as UTF-7
+that make overloaded usage of ASCII-valued bytes may fail to be reliably detected.</p><p>Once the processor has detected the character encoding in use, it can act
+appropriately, whether by invoking a separate input routine for each case,
+or by calling the proper conversion function on each character of input.</p><p>Like any self-labeling system, the XML encoding declaration will not work
+if any software changes the entity's character set or encoding without updating
+the encoding declaration. Implementors of character-encoding routines should
+be careful to ensure the accuracy of the internal and external information
+used to label the entity.</p></div><div class="div2"> <h3><a name="sec-guessing-with-ext-info" id="sec-guessing-with-ext-info" />E.2 Priorities in the Presence of External Encoding Information</h3><p>The second possible case occurs when the XML entity is accompanied by encoding
+information, as in some file systems and some network protocols. When multiple
+sources of information are available, their relative priority and the preferred
+method of handling conflict should be specified as part of the higher-level
+protocol used to deliver XML. In particular, please refer
+to <a href="#rfc2376">[IETF RFC 3023]</a> or its successor, which defines the <code>text/xml</code>
+and <code>application/xml</code> MIME types and provides some useful guidance.
+In the interests of interoperability, however, the following rule is recommended.</p><ul><li><p>If an XML entity is in a file, the Byte-Order Mark and encoding declaration are used
