Elliotte,

I am having a real problem understanding why you want to put a wall between
docs requiring blueberry and docs not requiring blueberry. I must be taking
a point of view on version progression that is too naive. The following does
give me a hint:

However, I am having a hard time figuring out why the standard should treat
authors of nonstandard XML documents better than people who simply want to
use their own language in markup.

In a corollary point of confusion for me, you seem to assume in your posts
that, even without your wall, a blueberry capable parser must have both the
pre-blueberry character classification tables and the blueberry character
classification tables. In my naive point of view, a document that is valid
XML 1.0 ought to be valid blueberry, thus, the complete table should be the
only necessary table, unless you want to build a wall.

So I must have missed some posts on this subject. Can you direct me to them?

One more thing, to which (single) Japanese character set do you refer below?
