I've no knowledge of Google APis, but I'm guessing it doesn't work 
because you're encoding the xml tags and not just the data elements 
of the xml.

I'm also guessing it works without utf-8 encoding because your data 
contains nothing outside of the basic ASCII character set.

A lot of guessing on a Monday morning. :)
