1) There's no information to be lost. He's not talking about encoding XML, he's talking about general design criteria for a cleanroom markup language design. I don't understand why this point is hard to get. 2) The idea that it's "better not to lose information" is totally nonsensical because the value of information is contextual. For example, the ascii encoding of this message useful omits the subtleties of my awful handwriting, although you're right: it would be better to preserve the information present in the deep pencil strokes, indicating my frustrating with this thread.
