In XML 1.1, which is currently in CR, all U+2028 characters are mapped
to LF by the parser.. It would therefore be unwise for XHTML 2.0 to assign a meaning
to them other than that of whitespace.
U+2029 is left alone in XML 1.1 character content, in the anticipation that
it *might* be used as some kind of markup. I take no position on whether
or not that is a Good Thing.
