Re: Invalid character error in XML file

XML disallows most control characters, thus just encoding an abritrary
value as characters will not work.  You need to either hex or base64
encode the value, to ensure that the resulting text does not contain
any problem-causing characters.  Onfortunately, although XML does
provide a basic character escaping mechanism, control characters are
not even allowed escaped.

The MSXML DOM (and MSXML SAX writer) do not validate that the
characters are all valid.

p.s. See http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets for the exact list of
valid characters.
