[4suite] exception "not well formed" on a file which passes validation using XMLSpy 2005

[Werner F. Bruhin]

I am running into the following exception:

**** Sat Nov 07 11:20:59 2009 ****
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "D:\Dev\twcbTrunk\Program\dialogxmlimport.py", line 547, in

SAXParseException: 
file:///D:/Dev/twcbTrunk/data/xmlImport/gws-quinta_do_mouro_vinho_regional_alentejano_rotulo_dourado.vinoxml:1:1068: 
not well-formed (invalid token)

I am loading it using:

        file = os.path.join(self.xmlImportFolder, fileName)
        self.xmlDoc = binderytools.bind_file(file)

The error is due to the elements "<producer><name>" and 
"<producer><email>", they contain some characters which are using escape 
sequences (correct term?).  If I remove/replace them it is fine.

These files are generated by someone else, I will let them know.  But I 
wonder if I can do something on my side to accept them, e.g. replace the 
bad chars with a ? or something along these lines by setting some amara 
configuration value or maybe use another function.

Appreciate any tips on this.
