I'm not quite sure what you mean here. An XML 1.1 document can
include 1.0 external entities. According to the XML 1.1 spec:
An XML 1.1 document may invoke XML 1.0 external entities, so that
otherwise duplicated versions of external entities, particularly DTD
external subsets, need not be maintained. However, in such a case the
rules of XML 1.1 are applied to the entire document.
I'm not sure what that last sentence means. Can anyone answer these questions?
1. What should a 1.1 aware parser do when from a 1.1 document it
loads an external entity that uses an unescaped C1 control character?
2. What should a 1.1 aware parser do when when it loads an entity
labelled as 1.0 and which is malformed by virtue of using an escaped
C0 control character?
3. What should a 1.1 aware parser do when it loads an invalid (but
well-formed) external 1.0 entity which would be valid except for the
use of NEL in white space in element content?
