I'm afraid I have to agree here. What's the point of the version attribute on the XML declaration if XML can never change? That's what this attribute is for isn't it? XML has been stable for the last couple of years and now it's time to improve it a bit. People who don't want to use the new characters/line delimiters can mark their files as version="1.0" and people who do can use version="1.1". It's naive to think that there aren't a whole lot of things that have to be agreed upon beyond the fact that you're exchanging XML before two applications can interchange data. What's one more thing like the version number of the XML? XML can't stay the same forever.
