           Summary: [Ser]  conflicting sentence whether NEL should be
                    escaped
           Product: XPath / XQuery / XSLT
           Version: Candidate Recommendation

According to last note in section 5 (XML Output Method), one paragraph states 
that NEL must be escaped, while the second paragraph states that non-
whitespace control characters other than NEL must be escaped.

"...For this reason, NEL and LINE SEPARATOR characters in text and attribute 
nodes must always be escaped using character references, regardless of the 
value of the version parameter."

"...Therefore, the non-whitespace control characters in the ranges #x1 through 
#x1F and #x7F through #x9F, other than NEL, MUST always be escaped, regardless 
of the value of the version parameter."

Suggested resolution:  remove ", other than NEL," from the second quote.
