This list, and others like it, needs to be updated to include the 
non-characters (0xFDD0 through 0xFDEF, plus all code points whose low-order 
16 bits are 0xFFFE or 0xFFFF).

I was just looking through the XML spec today, and the only non-characters 
excluded (other than the surrogates) are 0xFFFE and 0xFFFF.
