Bug Description
I am creating a svg file from text that is in a text file and the information
is valid in that you can type any visible character or diacritcal character for UTF-8 in the text for international language support as well. I have encountered problems also when a > or < or & is the text string. This indicates to me that you there a parsing problems with Inkscape on the XML file. I consider this a major problem that could render inkscape unusable.
I hope that this could be looked in to asap and that a fix is possible as I would hate to have to go away from using the SVG file format for my work.
Thank you for you attention to what I feel is a significant issue.

sorry but your file is not well-formed - any xml parser will reject it, not only inkscape
please see the xml standard for how to encode special characters in xml
