x10 is not an allowed character in XML 1.0 so an XML parser has to 
report that as a well-formedness error and stop parsing. I don't think 
XmlLite has a setting to change that.

With XmlReader in the .NET framework you can use CheckCharacters on 
XmlReaderSettings e.g.

       XmlReaderSettings settings = new XmlReaderSettings();
       settings.CheckCharacters = false;

       string xml = @"<foo>&#x10;</foo>";

       using (XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(new StringReader(xml), 
settings))
       {
         while (reader.Read())
         {
           if (reader.HasValue)
           {
             Console.WriteLine("Value is \"{0}\"", reader.Value);
           }
         }
       }

That way character _references_ to characters outside of the allowed 
range are not causing an error but literal characters still do.
