possible error in XML spec

I believe there is an error in the XML 1.0 (Second Edition) specification.  
Shouldn't the following Literal (From: section 2.3, also on page 9 in the 
PDF):

[12] PubidLiteral ::= '"' PubidChar* '"' | "'" (PubidChar - "'")* "'"

actually be:

[12] PubidLiteral ::= '"' PubidChar* '"' | "'" (PubidChar - "'" + '"')* "'"

Since the PublicChar literal doesn't include the double-quote (") sign:

[13] PubidChar ::= #x20 | #xD | #xA | [a-zA-Z0-9] | [-'()+,./:=?;!*#@$_%]

Note: white-space has been edited to be mail-editor-friendly.
