Minor typos in WD-xml11-20011213

Happy New Year everyone!

Minor typos in http://www.w3.org/TR/2001/WD-xml11-20011213/ (found
while translating):

1. Line 179:     <p>       <i>Change production 4, and add new production 4a:</i>     </p>  <pre>
You always surround production names with square brackets ("[" and
"]"). In this case there are no such brackets.

2. Line 221: sequence #xD #85; the single characters #x85 and     #x2028; and any #xD that
Is "#85" meant to be "#x85"?

A suggestion: why not supply XML 1.1 with a special module or appendix
(whatever you call it), where you will list all the characters which
authors are discouraged from (or banned against) using in XML names (sec. 2.3, prod. 5).
You have the exact list of characters which cannot be used (e. g.
ascii symbolic characters) but you also included a sentence saying
that "Almost all characters are permitted in names, except those
which either are or reasonably could be used as delimiters." For this
purpose the appendix will contain a constantly growing list of the
characters which will become encoded in Unicode. As far as I
understand it, the Unicode std. will contain even more writing
systems. It won't be surprising if these systems contain "delimiters"
or some kinds of "white space" characters (specific to them).

I'm sorry if this has already been discussed or is not appropriate for
the list.
