I would like to see some possible switch around XMLFormatter class, but there is unknown UConverter form ICU which will be used next, because there is nothing to know which transcoder will be called later. Please create a Jira issue because this is a bug. We should not let the ICU use a replacement character that we know will result in a document that's not well-formed. Dave
