[text/plain 294b]

A report on londom.pm could not use Test::XML on UTF-8 strings.
This is because XML::SemanticDiff uses Digest::MD5 and that module
does not like multi-byte characters. There is a work-around in the
Digest::MD5 documentation that I have applied to XML::SemanticDiff.
See attached patch.

A fix based on this report and patch is now available in my version of
XML-SemanticDiff, which aims to resolve all known issues:

http://svn.berlios.de/svnroot/repos/web-cpan/XML-SemanticDiff/trunk/

Hopefully, I'll be given a co-maintainer status for X-SD soon so I can
upload these modifications to the CPAN.

Regards,
