I think we could avoid a namespace bump, as long as it replaces the
optional character data - but it's worth experimenting to see what
clients actually do.

We can't entire get rid of the character data without doing a bump,
which I'm not keen on if it's avoidable (and I think it is). We can
deprecate it, note it for compatibility, and add a new element,
though.
