It's fairly easy to write non-robust XML generating code, and also
quick to test if one file is always bad. Drop it into a text editor or
Firefox, and take a quick look at line 554. Most likely some random
control character has sneaked in; it only takes (for example) one NUL
to make the document ill-formed.
