Rohan, OK. The code with parsexmlstring_ is already in the Bitbucket repository -- https://dkuhl...@bitbucket.org/dkuhlman/generateds
I'm leaving tomorrow for a 2 week vacation. When I return, I'll look into the thing about stripping out the XML declaration or header. Maybe there is some convention we can follow. Or, maybe Lxml has some support for this that I have not yet found. After all, it's the Lxml function that is objecting to that encoding in the header.
