If I may don the bozo hat for a moment, assume I'm using simple string 
concatenation to build up the XML document, inserting data from an 
arbitrary source (say a text field on a HTML form). Now I want to take 
that hat off. Do you have any (ideally cross-programming language) tips 
for ensuring the characters conform to the required encoding?

Cheers,
Danny.
