That was called a "clarification", but it Actually it was added by E44 (http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-19980210-errata#E44) which is described as "substantive". E105 just amended that. E44 was back in the days of the XML Syntax Group (before the XML Core Group existed). You'd have to go back through their archives to work out whether they realised that the non-normative text that they were adding didn't correspond to anything in the normative part of the spec. -- Richard
