Posible Errata in XML 1.0 W3C Recommendation 10-February-1998

If production rule 9 is:
[9] EntityValue ::= '"' ([^%&"] | PEReference | Reference)* '"' | "'"
([^%&'] | PEReference | Reference)* "'"
then if the regular expresion [^%&"] means any character except %, & and
", and in section 2.4 (Character Data and Markup), third paragraph, it
says:
The ampersand character (&) and ... They are also legal within the
literal entity value of an internal entity declaration; ...
then there is a posible minimum errata in production 9, as it should be
expressed as:
[9] EntityValue ::= '"' ([^%"] | PEReference | Reference)* '"' | "'"
([^%'] | PEReference | Reference)* "'"
