I tried your example XML fragment with our application which runs on top
of Xerces 2.6.2, and it parsed fine for me, and yes the fragment does
look wellformed. Are you sure this is really the fragment that fails.
And if so, are you sure that removing &#241; removes the problem? And if
so, are you sure there is no process beforehand that processes the input
above into somethin that is no longer wellformed. E.g. is there nothing
in you application that adds or removes quotes, because that is one way
to get the error you are gettting.

Kind regards,
