Comment (by don-vip):

 There's another example of bad xml delivered by OSM API. Try to get
 history of node 415524175:

 http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/415524175/history

 You will see that comment text of changeset 1424555 (created by Potlatch
 1.0) contains exotic characters. Then our XML parser is unable to parse
 it:

 Is there hope to see this bug fixed inside OSM API or do we need again to
 find a workaround ?
