[DFDL-WG] Approaches for handling illegal XML 1.0 characters in DFDL Infoset for XML interchange

[Mike Beckerle]

Thought I'd mention that the preferred approach to this in other software
systems seems to be to map the illegal characters to/from the Unicode
Private Use Area.

So illegal XML character 11 0xB becomes codepoint 0xE00B.

Apparently this approach is used by some pieces of commercial software,
notably Microsoft Visio.
