Description John Cowan 2005-09-21 16:22:44 UTC 
The Note in section A.2, "Implementations that support the full [XML 1.1]
character set may wish, for purposes of interoperability, to provide a mode that
follows only the [XML 1.0] and [XML Names] lexical rules" should be strengthened
to say "SHOULD provide a mode".  This improves alignment with the XML 1.1
Recommendation, which says that XML 1.1 parsers SHOULD be able to deal with XML
1.0 documents.

Similar comments should be added to XQuery 1.0, XPath 2.0, and XSLT 2.0.

I'm reporting the consensus of the XML Core WG here.
Comment 1 Don Chamberlin 2005-09-29 08:53:43 UTC 
On Sept. 29, 2004, the Query Working Group accepted your suggestion. The 
recommended change will be made in the next version of the XQuery 
specification. If you are satisfied with this resolution, please respond by 
closing this Bugzilla entry.
