in thread Vertical Tab (\x0b) in XML::LibXML

So if you make two passes through libxml you get valid xml?
No. I make one pass and use something (libxml in this case) to parse the result. If a result was produced, I'd expect the second tool to accept it.

Sanitizing input seems reasonable, but for such a complex data format, something like 

$text = 'XML::LibXML::Text'->removeInvalidChars($str, $version)

would be handy.

    No. I make one pass ... removeInvalidChars

    Um, 

    
sub XML::LibXML::Node::toSanitaryString {
    my( $node ) = @_;
    return 'XML::LibXML'->new( qw/ recover 2 / )
        ->load_xml(string => $node->toString )->toString;
}

    All that is left is to supress the "xmlEscapeEntities : char out of range" warning toSanitaryString generates
