You are running into the most common XML problem there is.  Your
document is encoded in ISO 8859-1, but you fail to declare that it
does so, causing the parser to assume that you are using UTF-8 and
then choking when it discovers illegal UTF-8 byte sequences.

Change your XML declaration to

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?> 

| (<unknown>:26:38: not well-formed)

If it is at all possible we should produce a better error message than
this one.
 
| 	xml_data = string.replace (xml_data, chr(146), "")
| 	xml_data = string.replace (xml_data, chr(147), "")
| 	xml_data = string.replace (xml_data, chr(148), "")

If you are using characters in the range 128-159 you are almost
certainly using windows-1252, and not ISO 8859-1, and should change
your encoding declaration accordingly.
