Summary: OAI provider returns invalid XML for 12 records

Initial Comment:
Twelve of the oai_dc records returned from the OAI provider are not valid XML because they contain a Unicode character (0x1a) that is invalid for XML.  The twelve records are:

TreeBASE.org/study/TB2:s955 An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document.
TreeBASE.org/study/TB2:s1119 An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document.
TreeBASE.org/study/TB2:s1226 An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document.

TreeBASE.org/study/TB2:s1731 An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0x1a) was found in the element content of the document.

Perhaps strip the character before it is returned by the OAI provider?
