That's why the XML version number would have to be changed, say to 2.0.
Making undefined entities a validity error in order to allow
experimentation would reduce interoperability. I don't really see any
advantage to it over just doing those experiments with non-conforming
processors. You don't need the XML Core Group's permission to do that :-)
