Description Michael Kay 2014-02-20 11:24:11 UTC 
The very last paragraph of the F+O spec correctly identifies an incompatibility from the 2.0 specification:

In regular expressions (without the "m" option) the meta-character "." now matches everything except x0A and x0D. Previously it was defined to match everything except x0A, which was an unnecessary and unintended incompatibility with regular expressions in XSD.

However, it incorrectly places this in a list that is supposed to apply only to incompatibilities affecting functions previously defined in XSLT 2.0. It should be moved out of this list.

As this is purely editorial, I have fixed it without WG discussion.
