Unicode character ranges (Score:2)

I think that the XML parsers I know of would choke on characters in the range [#x80-#xBF]. That's how I recall it, without trying.

    Ya know, I was actually wondering about that too. The XML 1.1 spec somewhat clarifies this [w3.org].
    But regardless, the strategy I've settled on for escaping arbitrary 8-bit data, is that anything fishy, I move up into the E000-E0FF block, as in my ps2xml library [interglacial.com].
