I suspect this is because a null character is illegal in the xml file  
format.  I had looked at this ticket a while back, but didn't really  
have time then.  The parser returned false, which means that it  
couldn't parse the file (likely because it is not valid XML).  I  
remember running into this in fire because some MSN plugin would send  
0x04 characters.

If I am reading my own code correctly, it seems that the characters  
0x0-0x8, and 0xb-0xc, 0xe-0x1f, 0xd800-0xdfff, 0xfffe, and 0xffff are  
illegal in XML.  Now 0xa is a \n, and 0xd is \r, so those are already  
escaped.  In fire, we replaced the illegal characters with a 0xff1f  
(big question mark).
