Hi Bob
I'm glad you found a solution for your issue. I got stuck on a validation issue
once which said "'<' expected" and there certainly was one - in the text
editor, but in a binary file editor I could see a couple of non-printable
characters.
It still strikes me as strange that an error message reading " 'a b' is not in
the set {'a b', 'a c'} is somewhat misleading, so I did some debugging and
found that right the way up to the call to vfprintf, the error message contains
the '\n'. I will likely raise something on the libxml2 lists/issue tracker to
see if there is a belief that non-printable characters should be converted when
outputting an error message.

Actually, your repro case is showing the correct behavior. In other words, the
\n is NOT being converted to a space character. I created a comparable repro
case using lxml.etree, and observed the correct behavior there, as well. So I
dug a little further, and found that the second bug is actually in our own
code. So, I am suitably embarrassed, and I apologize for the wild goose chase.
Thank you both for helping to nudge me back onto the path of truth. :-)
Regards,
Bob
