The C1 character U+0085 NEXT LINE (NEL) is also a Unicode space character, and this one is neither disallowed nor discouraged in XML as far as I can tell. I am not sure if we really want to support this character, though; Opera, Safari and Firefox do not seem to recognise it at all, and one IE7 installation seems to treat it as a non-breakable wide space, but this may well be font-dependent. (Allowing this character could be confusing given that … does not refer to U+0085, but rather to an ellipsis for compatibility with Windows-1252.) More importantly, the current draft seems to allow C0 (not only white space) controls and delete, as well as U+FDD0 to U+FDDF and the non-characters *FE and *FF when these are expressed as character references. Would it be possible to (dis)allow the same set of characters in both cases? -- ?istein E. Andersen
