You had to be there. Some of were still concerned about how to specify 
what switches to depress to load a binary value into an address or 
register when these things were designed.

So to take it one step further - what do the "modern" xml things do when 
trying to interpret my example.

I know that libxml2 tries to treat it as octal - and that causes me 
grief. What does Saxon do? Do we have a list of behaviors for xml/xsl 
interpreters?

This would make a good addition to Roger's lists of real life conventions.

Regards
Rick
