That is correct. It was not implemented. My own concerns about compatibility 
aside, we weren't sure Xerces could support XML 1.0 fifth edition while also 
being compliant to JAXP. I suppose we could have implemented it as part of a 
non-default configuration but who would turn it on? Someone who really wants 
this could choose to write an XML 1.1 document instead.

Subject: [EXTERNAL] XML 1.0 Fifth Edition name rules in Xerces

I wanted to check on the current status of XML 1.0 Fifth edition name rules in 
Xerces2 for Java. (The retcon where the W3C imported the XML
1.1 name rules and declared they had always meant something completely 
different than and incompatible with the BNF grammar in the first through 
fourth editions.)

I don't see anything about this in Jira or the release notes, and in my simple 
test it looks like these changes are not implemented, at least not in the 
DTDConfiguration. Is that correct?
