Fixed.

That's not XBL's fault, that's just how DOM Events has it.

Fixed.

Fixed.

Fixed where potentially ambigious.

It is after, because XBL is layered on top of the DOM, which itself is on 
top of XML, and therefore the XML rules have already been applied by the 
time XBL has anything to do with the content. However, it is still 
possible to have U+000A and U+000D characters in attributes, both by using 
entities in XML, and by directly putting such character data in the 
attribute using the DOM.

There is no plan to make an official schema for XBL.

I couldn't find all of these, and some of them were not incorrect (in 
particular the one occurance of "UA's" is currect as it is the singular), 
but I have fixed those that I found.
