Actually that array has four separate flags in each byte for testing 
whether a character is legal as

1. A name start character
2. A name character
3. An XML character
4. An NCName character

So I could only cut it down by half to 32K. And I've given some 
thought to what I could stuff in the other nibble, so I'm not sure 
it's going to be empty forever.
