SGML per se does not disallow them; the SGML declaration for HTML does. They are not explicitly forbidden by XML, however[1]:- Legal characters are tab, carriage return, line feed, and the legal graphic characters of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646. The characters in question are not graphic characters in Unicode, and therefore not legal in XML. Tim Bagot [1] <http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#dt-character>
