Yeah, I can see I wasn't clear; I did look up ^L and didn't find 
anything so was hoping you would just know :-)

Ok, I used hexdump and found the value of the offending character: 0x0C
Form Feed.
This is not a valid xml character. Valid characters are 0x0a, 0x0d, 0x09 
below 0x20, and 0x20 and up:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets

However, I now have to create a method called removeAsciiControl() that 
removes every byte < 0x20 except for 0x0d, 0x0a, 0x09. Only then can I 
pass this cleaned up data to vtd.

I'd like to avoid this overhead, and it would be ideal if vtd just 
ignored non-valid xml characters. This saves me from creating a buffer 
and cleaning the data manually.

Thank you.
