Some very minor points... XML says, "For compatibility, the string " -- " (double-hyphen) must not occur within comments." 11a. Should we allow <!-- -- --> as a µXML comment? The XML spec does not say that compatibility constraints are not binding, so I believe the above not to be well-formed XML, and the answer should be that it is to be forbidden. 11b. Should we allow % inside a µXML comment? The spec says, "Parameter entity references must not be recognized within comments" which I interpret to be an instruction to the parser not to treat % specially inside comments. In the context of XML (not SGML) it's actually a pretty bizarre admonition, and for µXML % will not be special, and hence is allowed. Is it worth documenting this? I'm not sure, probably not. 11c. Can you include > in a processing-instruction? XML allows it. Since they are allowed in comments, I see no reason not to.
