For people interested in why the C1 characters (80-9F) should be disallowed
in XML (i.e. XML 2.0) check out
"A Rational Approach to XML Robustness Requirements"
http://www.topologi.com/public/XML_Naming_Rules.html
This is an issue where robustness requirements meets head on
with the inclinations of the people who want to dumb XML down
into a language for serializing databases.
