First, if you happen to know an active forum for Xerces, please tell, Second, the error messaging from the scanner tells me that I have a "Invali= d byte 1 of 1-byte UTF-8 sequence." That's nice, but I have no way to tell _what_ byte is in violation. SO, if you have any reference to what might qualify as a "UTF8 Validator", please tell. Clearly Java and Ruby have different definitions of UTF8. BTW: the file I'm testing wtih loads back into REXML::Document just fine. Thanks for your advice!
