Is it possible to transport UTF-8-encoded text that includes some characters in the byte range x0000-x001F (ASCII control characters)? These codes are valid within UTF-8 (via RFC2044), but the XML specification clearly says that these codes do not constitute 'valid characters'. My application that wraps Clark's "expat" dies upon encountering codes in this range, citing well-formedness violations. I'm looking for the proper method for transporting text that occasionally includes these codes. I've been RTFM'ing this for a while now, and I've found plenty of archived discussion regarding raw binary data as PCDATA content, but this seems closer to common text-processing problem. Any advice or further interpretation would be greatly appreciated. Steven E.
