In addition to new validity constraints (John mentioned) ...

... there was discussion recently about whether UTF-8 BOM got
declared to be legal in 2nd edition.  A non-normative section now
says so, as does the UDDI spec in some cases; SOAP-friendliness
sems to demand changing the definition of WF-ness to permit a
UTF-8 BOM in 2nd ed "plus errata" (or removing the UTF-8
BOM from the non-normative section, fixing UDDI, etc).  That'd
be a change from being a WFness error to being WF.
