  I simply forgot the TR/ part of the URL http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml.

  Right but since libxml2 doesn't implement 1.1 yet there isn't too many

We don't plan any XML-1.2 so far, and I don't plan to implement XML-1.1 
until I see an urgent need and have time to do so.
I'm on both side, i.e. in the XML Core Working Group, and also an implementor,
and I can tell you that we all know there what's the cost of implementation,
certification, releases and updates !
