Tony, numeric character reference is still in. I was just saying that
predefined character references like <, >, and & are there
for convenience only since numeric character references are there.
Not too many folks noticed it but I removed the hex numerical character
references in the preliminary EBNF. I prefer hex but didn't like the
extra 'x' to get there. I can go with either hex or decimal but not
both.
