Hi XML editors,
In both the XML 1.0 and 1.1 specs, the "Mixed" production is defined in 
the same way:
  1.0: http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#sec-mixed-content
  1.1: http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#sec-mixed-content
|Mixed| 	::= 	|'(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? 
'#PCDATA' (S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '|' S 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? Name 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-Name>)* S 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? ')*' |

	
	
	|| '(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '#PCDATA' 
S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? ')' |


And the following mixed element declaration examples are given:
1) <!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA|a|ul|b|i|em)*>
2) <!ELEMENT p (#PCDATA | %font; | %phrase; | %special; | %form;)* >
3) <!ELEMENT b (#PCDATA)>
It is clear to me how examples 1) and 3) are parsed, but I do not 
understand the 2nd case.
"%font;", "%phrase;" etc... look like the PEReference production, and 
not like Name one.
Name, more precisely NameStartChar, does not accept '%' as a first 
character.
So, should I read the "Mixed" production as follows, or is the provided 
example wrong?
|Mixed| 	::= 	|'(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? 
'#PCDATA' (S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '|' S 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? (Name 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-Name> | PEReference))* S 
<http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? ')*' |

	
	
	|| '(' S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? '#PCDATA' 
S <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/REC-xml-20081126/#NT-S>? ')' |

Many thanks!
