I think the spec is clear, and no authors-intention clarifications are
relevant.  To quote:

 If the character reference  begins with "&#x", the digits and letters 
 up to the terminating ";" provide a hexadecimal representation of the
 character's value in ISO/IEC 10646

No reasonable interpretation of this could rule out any of &#x0aa; or
&#x0AA; or &#xaa; - I'm sure msxml will get around to fixing this. -Tim
