Re: [xml-dev] Was there a technical issue for the demise of XML 1.1?
It was a collection of fixes to XML 1.0 none of which was in itself sufficiently compelling to justify a new and incompatible version. The feature I considered the most important, ditching Unicode 2.0 in favor of an evolving set of characters for element and attribute names (as well as the values of non-CDATA attributes), was incorporated into the 5th Edition of XML 1.0. My view is that XML 1.1 should be formally deprecated by W3C.

Hi Folks,
It is my understanding that the reason for the demise of XML 1.1 was simply that it was never adopted by the community - people were already using 1.0 and there was no compelling reason for moving to 1.1. Was there also a technical issue for its demise?
