I'm with Dmitry on this. The XML spec says:

Legal characters are tab, carriage return, line feed, and the legal
characters of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646. The versions of these standards
cited in A.1 Normative References were current at the time this document
was prepared. New characters may be added to these standards by
amendments or new editions. Consequently, XML processors must accept any
character in the range specified for Char. The use of "compatibility
characters", as defined in section 6.8 of [Unicode] (see also D21 in
section 3.6 of [Unicode3]), is discouraged.]

(let's leave aside the facts that competing products have patchy Unicode
support and that other tools in the workflow may be ASCII- or ANSI-only,
so full Unicode might not be much of a blessing for most users, but am I
right in thinking taht if it's not Unicode-compliant it's not
XML-compliant?)
