XML encoding oddities

[Mark Smith]

Thanks Trevor! (Also Ken). That seems to work very well.

The particular problem I was trying to solve was how to serialize  
arrays with arbitrary keys and contents, such that they can be shared  
across networks and platforms. I think I've found a solution for my  
purposes, (though it won't be reliable with binary data), and it  
involves building the xml without the xml library, and then using the  
library to unserialize - though it fails if there is any "<?xml..."  
header at all!

Best,

Mark
