Characters are those included in the Unicode/ISO/IEC 106464 repertoire. Refer to Characters (in Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1) for more information about the accepted character range." <http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-WCAG20-20050630/#textdef>http://www.w3.org/TR/2005/WD-WCAG20-20050630/#textdef </quote> However, the resolution from the 9 June telecon reads: "A sequence of characters. Characters are those included in the Unicode / ISO / IEC 106464 repertoire." (http://www.w3.org/2005/06/09-wai-wcag-minutes.html) Moreover, in the GL 1.1 questionnaire (beginning of June: http://www.w3.org/2002/09/wbs/35422/textequiv20050607/), the rationale said: "The definition that was adopted at the 28 April 2005 telecon referenced XML 1.1. Mailing list discussion raised concerns about backwards compatibility of XML 1.1. Therefore, removed the reference to XML 1.1." So, the current definition is NOT what we agreed on. Can we open a bug to address this issue? In the GL 1.1 questionnaire, I also proposed a clarification: "The character set of a delivery unit should be a subset of Unicode, but it is not necessary to use a character set that defines the same mappings between characters and codepoints as Unicode." Since I missed a large part of the 9 June telecon, I don't know if this was discussed.
