It's possible that the parser is wrong, but I find it hard to believe.  
I'm using the standard SAX parser in java (created by 
javax.xml.parsers.SAXParserFactory).  I'd have thought these types of 
wrinkles would have been ironed out by now.

It's complaining with the following message:
An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x13) was found in the value of 
attribute "v" and element is "tag".

Is it possible that an acute accent character (0x13) is invalid for 
Unicode UTF-8 and should be represented some other way?  Anyway, I'll 
have to do some more digging and see what I can find.
