It is shown that the sl(2)q-invariant open antiferromagnetic XXZ spin chain with a boundary field has a gapless sector in the thermodynamic limit when its length is odd. Owing to a Temperley-Lieb equivalence of the spectra, the same conclusion is drawn for the purely biquadratic spin 1 chain with open boundaries and odd length.
