The XML for the above URL is fine, though it does contain some XML encoded and
hex encoded characters.  Firefox chokes on it (see <bestPassage> element, in
particular).

1. try to render
http://search1.nsdl.org:8888/search/rest?verb=Search&s=242&n=1&q=category:collection

Actual Results:  
XML parsing error

Expected Results:  
cleanly rendered the URL

Summary: xml parsing error when asked to render legit XML → xml parsing error when asked to render legit XML
Version: unspecified → Trunk
The XML doesn't look fine to me; there are null characters in the <bestPassage>
element. They aren't legal characters in XML.

testing with a few other tools confirms that the file is not well-formed xml.
