XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[dvholten AT computer.org]

everybody looking at the same version ??

from my xom-sourcecode, it seems, that the UnicodeTextWriter never returns 
true from 
method needsEscaping.
Then TextWriter.writePCDATA bypasses the surrogate-thing.
That comes from the default encoding (none given -> UTF8), other
encodings look good. 

maybe environment-specific things crept in - jvm? locale? 
(we are not on the same side of the atlantic).

They once said that about 127.

Given that we now have Unicode codes for musical symbols, what makes you
imagine that the number of potential characters is finite? They'll start
adding every registered trade mark soon. And every Windows icon. Standards
committees don't have a good track record for declaring that their work is
done and dissolving themselves.
