xml character limit

Quite right, I wasn't connecting the two -- Java supports UCS-4 only
to the extent allowed by surrogates in UTF-16, but that's the limit in
XML as well, so there should be no problem (at least, not until
Unicode starts assigning codes >= 0x110000, in which case the problem
will be both Java's and XML's).


All the best,


David
