Description
The new 5 version gives me an error when processing the xbel file that I have uploaded to my Drupal files directory:
XML error: Invalid character at line 3
I don't know why this is. It's a big xbel file for sure, but I've not had any problems with that, as far as using it via Firefox is concerned.
That's about all the information I have - the module did not provide anything further to help me diagnose it further.
This is under php 5.0.4 with Drupal v5 RC1.

#1
Can you please send me a sample xml file, which causes this error? Are you sure the file is valid xml? The error you described is generated by the php xml parser, so I'm not sure I can do anything about it!
#2
Best I can do is tell you that the XBEL file is automatically created by the Bookmark Sync & Sort Firefox extension - this is the limit of my knowledge of XBEL at the moment, in honesty.
Perhaps generating another test XBEL file from this extension will help out matters. Looking at the top of the existing file doesn't shed much light on the matter, it just looks "normal"...
