The latest XML spec gives a bit more detail on the rules 
for a character reference, but it is still incomplete.

In particular, are there any rules on the use of leading
zero digits?

At present MSXML seems to permit "&#x00aa;" but to
reject "&#xaa;" (not to mention "&#x0aa;" and 
"&#x0000aa;").

I can't see any justification for this in the spec - what is
the authors' intention?
