Re: [dita] Fwd: DITA 1.3 "XML mention" question

[Eliot Kimber <ekimber@contrext.com>]

I've sent email to Liam Quin, XML Activity Lead at the W3C, to get
confirmation that this restriction has been removed. It's clearly removed
by the errata to the XML 1.0 specification, but I'm not seeing a
corresponding errata to the XML 1.1 specification, so I'm not entirely
sure what the implications are. I've asked Liam for guidance.

Cheers,

E.
