XOM API for Processing XML with Java

[Sandy Mustard <smustard AT cinci.rr.com>]

Well, perhaps I figured it out.

I added the following after my character conversions:

                               byte[] chrs = 
textString.getBytes("UTF-8");       // <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
                               textString= new String(chrs); // 
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
                               Attribute attr = new Attribute("Text", 
textString);

I'm hoping this is correct.
