I support Elliotte Rusty Harold's objection that the "Proposed Edited Recommendation" of XML 1.0 is really a new version and undermines the perception that XML is a stable format. The revised section on "Names and Tokens" <http://www.w3.org/TR/2008/PER-xml-20080205/#IDALPVR> retrofits a corresponding section from XML 1.1 <http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml11-20060816/#IDAKUDS> / <http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml11-20040204/#IDABN1S> into XML 1.0. Even though it is important that XML parsers support a larger set of characters (Unicode 5.0), it is not acceptable to change the specification in a way that makes current implementations non-conformant and still call it "XML 1.0". This change requires a new version number.
