  I have heard only verly little demand so far.

  Hum, you may be mistaken, those are only allowed in 1.1 as CharRef
i.e.  if you have a byte with the value of 1 in the stream you still
get a fatal error. Moreover some of the bytes 128 and 256 may also
generate a fatal error while 1.0 parsers may have accepted them (depending
on the encoding).
  So "cleanly parsing certain ascii chars" does not sound at all an
appropriate description of what XML-1.1 actually offers.
