The authoring requirements disallow the following character ranges:

U+0000, U+000D, U+0080 to U+009F, 0xD800 to 0xDFFF

The implementation requirements require parse errors for the following additional ranges:

0x0001 to 0x0008, 0x000E to 0x001F, 0x007F, 0xFDD0 to 0xFDEF, or is one of 0x000B, 0xFFFE, 0xFFFF, 0x1FFFE, 0x1FFFF, 0x2FFFE, 0x2FFFF, 0x3FFFE, 0x3FFFF, 0x4FFFE, 0x4FFFF, 0x5FFFE, 0x5FFFF, 0x6FFFE, 0x6FFFF, 0x7FFFE, 0x7FFFF, 0x8FFFE, 0x8FFFF, 0x9FFFE, 0x9FFFF, 0xAFFFE, 0xAFFFF, 0xBFFFE, 0xBFFFF, 0xCFFFE, 0xCFFFF, 0xDFFFE, 0xDFFFF, 0xEFFFE, 0xEFFFF, 0xFFFFE, 0xFFFFF, 0x10FFFE, or 0x10FFFF

Similarly, the requirements in section 9.1.3 Text should also forbid these control characters.

Checked in as WHATWG revision r3961.
Check-in comment: Bring the authoring section in line with the parsing section for allowed character references.
