Hi,
Many (most?) languages do accept octal and hex escapes (such as \x#20)
in regular expressions.
The rec is clear (IMO) that these escapes are not allowed (at least I
haven't found them in the EBNF for patterns) and Xerces agrees and
rejects them.
However, I have a customer who insists using them, saying that they are
mentioned in Microsoft's doc (but I haven't found where) and that MSXML
4.0 does accept them (which I can confirm).
Can you confirm that these escapes are forbidden and that numeric
entities should be used instead?
Thanks
Eric
