U+0BE6 TAMIL DIGIT ZERO was added to Unicode in version 4.1, March 2005 (cf. http://www.unicode.org/Public/5.0.0/ucd/DerivedAge.txt). It did not exist in 1998 when XML 1.0 was originally published. XML 1.0 was based on the then current Unicode 2.0, leaving out U+0BE6 was not an error and we cannot now enlarge the range to [#x0BE6-#x0BEF] by way of an erratum. -- François Yergeau
