Okay, now I'm REALLY puzzled. Based on suggestions here, I explored the CDATA approach; it appears the CDATA commands DO exist in RB5.5 -- they just aren't in the language reference. Nice.
It was a simple change to make the text save as CDATA instead of a text node; however, this caused no change -- the file generates the same XMLException on open except now it's claiming the error is in line 1 (which is the XML header and is the same as always). The only thing I can think of now is bad data inside an Attribute value (I do use those heavily). However, in my earlier testing, those seemed to handle Unicode (i.e Japanese text) just fine and the file in question seems to be just regular English text. Are there characters I can't use iniside Attributes?
