DOCBOOK: Re: Codepoint attribute for character elements

[Norman Walsh]

/ Elliotte Rusty Harold <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> was heard to say:
| <doc xmlns:e="http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xmlcharent/names";>
| <p>This document uses the character names element to access
| character entities, such as "<e:char codepoint="0xE9"/>".</p>
| </doc>

How would that differ from &#xE9;?

The point of the character element is to allow people to use names; if
you really want to use codepoints, can't you just use numeric
character references?

                                        Be seeing you,
                                          norm
