That's what I thought, until Simon challenged me on it.  I couldn't 
find the wording in the XML Rec that made that legal.  I'm certain 
that it's there; this rule has been an article of faith for several 
years now.  [Wow... XML for "several years".]  Can you point me to the 
appropriate section of the Rec, please?
