Quite right, but you're cherry-picking.  Can you point to *any*
substantive errata that *don't* constitute an incompatible change?

The errata are at:

        http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-V10-3e-errata
        http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-V10-2e-errata
        http://www.w3.org/XML/xml-19980210-errata

You should document this as a major deviation from XML 1.0.  Or if you
are implementing XML 1.0 2e, you should say so.

"Why is that?" the woman inquired.
