@@ -4,6 +4,8 @@ This directory contains the source of the crates.io `xml5ever` 0.39.0 release.
 It is patched locally because Moli needs the tokenizer to preserve CDATA as a
 distinct token, the XML tree builder to surface CDATA nodes to its sink, and
 namespace declarations to remain available as DOM attributes after binding.
+Numeric character references use the XML 1.0 Char production, preserving
+referenced carriage returns and C1 values without HTML's Windows-1252 mapping.
