No, no-one is proposing anything like that. Where did you get that idea from? In fact, I think the reverse is being suggested, that the naming rules for XML should encompass all characters that people write words with in any language. The issue is whether to let into XML 1.1 characters which no-one can use in a word, and which at the current and medium term state of the art would not be renderable by accessibility tools. It is whether characters such as the white thumbs up should be allowed into names using inside XML markup (and which would therefore also appear in links, URLs, scripts, CSS, etc). Currently these things are not allowed in XML 1.0. Cheers Rick Jelliffe
