In my opinion, no, except for new obvious semantic or representational 
tweaks or additions that follow directly.  Here I am thinking of things 
like: an element-level convention that means: "represent this binary 
value as b64 outside of esXML", pointers that can point to specific 
'characters' anywhere (this helps support expression of an arbitrary 
data structure in an XML tree), and some way to represent deltas in text 
(possibly just two complete versions of an XML document).
These can remain experimental for a while or otherwise be tolerated 
extra-standard if needed, but seem pretty clear to me.
