W3C has issued the XML 1.1 recommendation, received with...mixed feelings by the XML community.

Elliotte Rusty Harold thinks everybody should stay with XML 1.0, unless you're developing a system exclusively for a local Amharic-language newspaper in Addis Abeba where everybody including the IT staff speaks Amharic (his words).

My goddaughter does, or rather did speak Amharic, as she's not using it much today. Anyway I don't think we'll be doing such a project soon. So I guess I'll follow the above advice ;-)
