dear XML editors:

When our QA engineers try to verify our XML support with characters from
Unicode Ideograph Ext A and Ext B block , we found the following issue
http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=134963

basically, according to the XML 1.0 2nd edition speciifcation, only
BaseChar and Ideograph could be used as Letter, but none of the
characters from Unicode Ideograph Ext A block and Unicode Ideograph Ext
B block are listed as Ideograph. Therefore, xml which use use characters
from these two block for element name are consider not well-formed now.

Any plan to change the xml specification to follow the newly updated
Unicode 3.2 Standard ?
