How's this to start: We believe that the hard coded references to XML 1.0 version 2 in: http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/ and to Unicode 3.0 in http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-syntax-grammar/ and http://www.w3.org/TR/rdf-concepts/ are unduly restrictive. We believe that they should normatively refer to the latest versions of both standards. Implementations that do not wish to update to the latest versions of those standard could indicate their conformance profile by saying "Supports RDF with Unicode 3.0 and XML 1.0 version 2". Since, technically speaking, such implementations must(?) reject documents or models which, e.g., use characters only in Unicode 5.0 this conformance message seems reasonable. It also frees implementations to be conforming while accepting such extended documents. Cheers, Bijan.
