That was in a draft for what became XML 1.1, along with C1 controls (except for �). Unfortunately the primary use for them seemed to be wrongly-encoded documents, and allowing C0 just moved the problems for those documents. Allowing all codepoints in input seems appropriate - e.g. convert a CSV to XML where the separator is \1 (control-A, SOH). If someone wants malformed XML as output, maybe that should be allowed too? -- Liam Quin, https://www.delightfulcomputing.com/ Available for XML/Document/Information Architecture/XSLT/ XSL/XQuery/Web/Text Processing/A11Y training, work & consulting.
