Fair enough, but if you remove all the unicode-character apparatus from
XML 1.0 you probably cut that in half. Which is one of the only
important *technical* differences between XML and SGML - SGML was really
underspecified on what a "character" was. At the end of the day XML's
main technical contribution may turn out to have been that it dragged
Unicode into the mainstream. -Tim
