    [ http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/OFFICE-2672?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=23095#action_23095 ] 

Dennis Hamilton commented on OFFICE-2672:
-----------------------------------------

It says somewhere that the assumed carrier for OpenFormula is in XML attribute or element values, with the main assumption being attribute values.

There are limitations on the allowed [Unicode] characters that can be conveyed in that manner.  

Perhaps it should be a Note, that when OpenFormula is carried in an XML attribute or element there are limitations on the [Unicode] characters of text values that can be conveyed in that manner?

(I note that OpenFormula does not provide a separate escape mechanism for encoding the characters that XML doesn't tolerate by means that XML supportes.)
