Growing but not infinite. There's a hard limit of a few more than a
million spaces for characters in Unicode. And I continue to maintain
that we can get along just fine without using the new ideographs as name
characters,
Likely there'll be some small pain when characters for new technological
developments come into common use, but I don't expect there'll be enough
of those to make changing XML worth the cost.
