Richard asks what the "(and other XML strings meant to be used as 
URI references)" phrase is supposed to mean at
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-xml-core-wg/2007Dec/0034

He says we added this as part of an earlier erratum.  It isn't
really clear what this means.

Regardless, Richard recommends that we just leave it for now,
and the WG agrees.

Richard has reviewed and approved the proposed wording for PE161.

Change:

 Even though the VersionNum production matches any version
 number of the form '1.x', XML 1.0 documents SHOULD always
 specify the version number as '1.0'.

to:

 Even though the VersionNum production matches any version
 number of the form '1.x', XML 1.0 documents SHOULD NOT
 specify a version number other than '1.0'. 

       Note

 When an XML 1.0 processor encounters a document that specifies
 a 1.x version number other than '1.0', it will process it as
 a 1.0 document.  This means that an XML 1.0 processor will accept
 1.x documents provided they do not use any non-1.0 features.
