You're going to need detailed references here, for as far as I can tell 
from reading the XML 1.1 specification, an XML 1.0 document is indeed an 
XML 1.1 document as well. I see no contradiction there.

Since the SVG specification now references XML 1.1 normatively 
throughout, it is clear that any mention of a data construct imported 
from XML is from XML 1.1.
