(Because tools are likely to splash blueberry juice over new xml files, even if they don't really use the new features) If it was just for NEL I'm fairly clear I'D vote no to Blueberry (except I'm disenfranchised, W3C being a private club) On the other hand if it's going to happen anyway to add the 3.1 characters, adding NEL at the same time is less of an issue. Personally I think it suspect that by far the most complicated production in the xml spec is the name constraints. Would so much be lost if (as for character data) all unicode code points above a certain point were allowed, otherwise we'll have to go through this all again for 3.x and 4 and ..
