Comment 2 Morten Welinder 2009-01-23 21:48:08 UTC 
gsf_xml_out_add_cstr will create invalid xml with id in non-NULL.

		} else if (*cur < 0x20 && id != NULL) {
			guint8 buf[8];
			sprintf (buf, "&#%d;", *cur);

			if (cur != start)
				gsf_output_write (xout->output, cur-start, start);
			start = ++cur;

			gsf_output_write (xout->output, strlen (buf), buf);

This probably will have to be restricted to \r, \n, and \t.  Maybe \f.

Note: the "solution" will be to drop such characters on the floor.  There is
really nothing we can do at this point.

And xml 1.1 isn't likely to happen.
