Can you give me a reference for the restriction that says formfeed can't 
appear in a CDATA section in 1.1? The CDATA production says:

  CData   ::=   (Char* - (Char* ']]>' Char*))

And

  Char  ::=   [#x1-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF]

Incidentally, do you know the reason why they decided to include the 
control character range as legal in 1.1? Seems like it's going to create 
more problems than it solves.
