Re: Inaccuracy in Extensible Markup Language (XML) 1.1 (Second Edition)

You've haven't found an error. [33] through [38] existed but were removed a
long time ago. See the rationale here:
http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-19980210-errata#E73

After removing them, I would assume the original numbering was maintained
to avoid confusion and to allow numerical references from other documents
to continue pointing to the productions they intended.
