It's ill-formed: it contains illegal characters, according to section
2.2 of http://www.w3.org/TR/2000/REC-xml-20001006:

"Legal characters are tab, carriage return, line feed, and the legal
characters of Unicode and ISO/IEC 10646. "

The cited version of the standard is both the 1993 revision, and part
1 of the 2000 revision; both revisions have legal characters in the
BMP only.
