They're definitely invalid in HTML 4; the debate (on which there isn't
consensus) is whether they are valid in XHTML 1. They're not apparently
invalid in XML _en_ _générale_. However, I believe they are invalid in
XHTML, too. The SGML declaration for XHTML [1] gives:
DESCSET
0 9 UNUSED
9 2 9
11 2 UNUSED
13 1 13
14 18 UNUSED
32 95 32
127 1 UNUSED
128 32 UNUSED
That means characters 127-159 decimal are invalid, just like in HTML, right?

I think you're OK w.r.t. XHTML.
