Description Bj 2004-09-12 07:53:56 UTC 
parsetree() has

  $prevdata = &ent($prevdata);
  $prevdata =~ s/\s+/ /go;
  $tree .= wrap(' ' x $indent, ' ' x $indent, $prevdata) . "\n";

This can't work, wrap will split inside character references as generated by ent
() which then may be split into pieces ala

  ...&
  #34;...

As a result, the output document is illformed XML.
