In fact, the characters are not illegal in XML 1.0 either. IMHO they
should have been, but the point was overlooked (or not understood)
when XML 1.0 was written.
In XML 1.1, the characters may appear only as character references,
not literally, with the exception of U+0085 which is mapped to U+000A.
