is there a way of identifying invalid characters in XML before saving stuff
to the DB. i.e. i have a form which is used to save stuff to the DB, mostly
user copy and paste stuff from word, which introduces some funny characters
which end up crashing my software which uses xml/xslt to display stuff from
the DB.

How can i prevent this? am using encording but doesn't help with certain
characters.

Thanks,
