Section 2.2 of xml-980210 states, in part: The use of "compatibility characters", as defined in section 6.8 of Unicode, is discouraged. Compatibility characters are, I believe, defined in section 2.2 (pages 2-8 and 2-9) of the Unicode Standard, Version 2.0. That discussion provides more detail about compatibility characters than does the introduction to section 6.8 and, as mentioned in both section 2.2 and section 6.8, "the Compatibility Area contains a large number of compatibility characters, but the Unicode Standard also contains many compatibility characters that are not in the Compatibility Area". Referencing section 6.8 as defining "compatibility characters" may lead the casual reader to assuming that only the Compatibility Area characters are deprecated as being "compatibility characters".
