Look at http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006#NT-Char
[2] Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | /* any Unicode character,
[#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] excluding the surrogate blocks,
FFFE, and FFFF. */
I think XML spec is self contradictory.

Good point. U+000c is also used frequently in email's and news
article's body. It may not make sense to allow control characters in
HTML, but it does make sense in XML when it is used as a container of
data including legacy data like email archives.
