On the line 580 of that we have a  character.

As a matter of fact, the XML spec says (http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#dt-character) that Char ::= #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF] so  is not a valid char for an XML document. I'll leave this open to serve as a FAQ but will set is as minor,wontfix. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
