Unicode in XML

Hello,

I agree to enlarge the range of characters in XML names and documents.
But I would prefer to have constraints against a version of Unicode than
only suggestions (annexe B).

What I would like to see:

<?xml version="1.1" unicode="3.2"?>

This new attribute allows constraints and doesn't force the version of
unicode used in XML.
This method permits the following syntactic constructs:
	NameStartChar    :=   ":" | "_" | {Ll} | {Lu} | {Lo} | {Lm} | {Lt} | {Nl}

	NameChar := NameStartChar | "-" | "." | #xB7 | {Mc} | {Mn} | {Nd} | {Pc} |
{Cf}

If we don't want to use some characters, it would be better to forbid them
than to suggest not to use them.

Thank you.
