Gah, I should have read this before replying... well, that does
appear to be valid utf-8.... why is it throwing an exception
then?
I'm pretty sure that byte stream *is* actually well-formed xml
1.0 and should pass utf validation as well as the XML
well-formedness check.
Regarding control characters: If you give me a complete sample
file, I can run it through Mozilla's UTF stream conversion and/or
XML parsing code (via either SAX or DOMParser) to tell you how
that reacts as a reference. Mozilla supports XML 1.0, but not
1.1.
