Simon,
Sorry for the very late response to your question.
EXI 1.0 is based on a mapping to the XML Information Set [1],[2].
The specification does not rely on a particular serialization.
The reference to XML 1.0 in the document is explaining the design
of the distinguishing bits, it has no consequence on an EXI
implementation. The next version of our specification will refer to
XML 1.0 5th edition as well as XML 1.1 Recommendations.
Thank you for your interest in EXI.
