Hi Gary, The short answer is no.
This blog [1] entry touches on concerns that the XML community has had about the 5th edition. I've yet to see a request from someone that actually needs / wants this. I'm not even sure you can do a release which conforms to JAXP since the other standards it pulls in are still at levels which expect pre-XML 1.0 5th edition rules. Thanks.
