Short answer: Yes. Did you see this: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/w3c-rdfcore-wg/2003Jul/0323.html ? The relevant bit is this: [[ [[ [66] CharRef ::= '&#' [0-9]+ ';' | '&#x' [0-9a-fA-F]+ ';' [WFC: Legal Character] Well-formedness constraint: Legal Character Characters referred to using character references must match the production for Char. ]] -- http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#NT-CharRef OOPS! That well-formedness constraint means the awkward characters are not allowed. I was wrong, the awkward characters cannot be encoded in XMl. ]] #g ------------------- Graham Klyne <GK@NineByNine.org> PGP: 0FAA 69FF C083 000B A2E9 A131 01B9 1C7A DBCA CB5E
