Unicode bug (Xerces 1.2.1)

I just tried feeding Xerces 1.2.1 an element with a B7 (a bullet) in the
element name.  As far as I know, B7 is supposed to be one of the Extender
characters allowed by the grammar.  What I got was the following exception:

java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException
 at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:917)
 at org.apache.xerces.framework.XMLParser.parse(XMLParser.java:939)
 at ...

Here's the test schema:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsd:schema
 xmlns:xsd = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema"
 xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance">
 <xsd:element name = "foo·bar"/>
</xsd:schema>

And the test file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<foo·bar
 xmlns:xsi = "http://www.w3.org/1999/XMLSchema-instance"
 xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation = "b7.xsd"/>

PS: I'd still like advice about my whitespace and comment suppression
questions...
