Additional XML features (e.g., namespaces) are made available only by being explicitly discussed in a given profile's specification. In particular this limitation allows use of only the five predefined general entities references ("&", "<", ">", "'", and """) and numeric entity references in the messages exchanged. Further, because the profile registration template defines the messages exchanged over a channel, the XML documents exchanged in each message needn't have either a "XML" declaration (e.g., ) or a "DOCTYPE" declaration (e.g., ). All other XML 1.0 instructions (e.g., CDATA blocks, processing instructions, and so on) are allowed. Finally, because the "XML" declaration isn't present, the default character set for XML-based profiles is UTF-8. If another character set is desired, a "Content-Type" entity-header should be used to specify the character set in question. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6.2 BXXP Channel Management DTD ------------------------- 6.4 TLS Transport Security Profile DTD ----------------------------------- 6.6 SASL Family of Profiles DTD
