2.1.2.50 [ISO/IEC9075-14:2011] X072, XMLSerialize: Character string serialization

V0085:

The specification states the following:

 Subclause 6.8, "<string value function>": 
  
 Without Feature X072, "XMLSerialize: character string serialization", conforming SQL language shall not contain an <XML character string serialization>.

Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 and Microsoft SQL Server 2012 vary as follows:

Transact-SQL does not support this feature. See the CAST and CONVERT functions [MSDN-Transact-SQLRef] for equivalent functionality. The CAST and CONVERT functions support serializing both from XML(CONTENT) and from XML(DOCUMENT) to string (either as NVARCHAR or VARCHAR).

This variation pertains to XML parser functionality in SQL Server.
