Hi Mathias,
Thanks for your response.
I was expecting write_xml(with "utf-8") to do the escape(e.g < replaced with &lt;) or strip any invalid characters(e.g. anything other than   #x9 | #xA | #xD | [#x20-#xD7FF] | [#xE000-#xFFFD] | [#x10000-#x10FFFF])
Is this part of the write_xml()?
Do let me know if this is not clear.
Regards,Rohan

I don't understand, the error message is quite explicit: your data isn't 
utf-8 even though you said it was. What were you expecting to happen?

Also this would probably be more suited to the boost-users mailing list.
