[New-bugs-announce] [issue10733] plistlib rejects strings containing control characters

[Mitchell Model]

New submission from Mitchell Model <mlm at acm.org>:

plistlib rejects control characters found in XML plists that Apple's 'plutil lint' accepts. I have attached my Terminal preferences as an example. (plistlib accepts the contents of the default Terminal preferences file)
