xml.dom.minidom gives the same error, so it's not a problem with
elementtree in itself.
the problematic tag contains:
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
which decodes to
'[EMAIL PROTECTED]'
which contains chr(1), which is an invalid XML character (at least
in XML 1.0).
that apple's tools are able to generate bogus XML is a known problem; for
a discussion and some workarounds, see the "Status of XML 1.1 processing
in Python" over at the xml-sig mailing list:
