I tried manually editing this and then reloading the xml file into
mozilla. It broke on &copy, too. After removing the line entirely,
it broke 12 lines down with...

XML Parsing Error: undefined entity
Location: file:///home/zender/nco/doc/nco.xml
Line Number 12, Column 64:This is the first edition of the <CITE>NCO 
User's Guide</CITE>,&linebreak;

After putting this line in and reloading into mozilla, and fixing the
copyright line, the reader works fine until it reaches an error on line 235:

XML Parsing Error: mismatched tag. Expected: </XREF>.
Location: file:///home/zender/nco/doc/nco.xml
Line Number 235, Column 7:    </PARA></SECT2></SECT1>
------^

Basically, it seems that my source document, nco.texi causes lots of 
problems with the xml generator in makeinfo. This is somewhat surprising 
since I thought nco.texi was valid texinfo. Perhaps it would be a useful
document for someone to use to debug the xml capability in makeinfo.
It is available online at

http://nco.sf.net/nco.texi

I would be interested in hearing about any changes that I would need
to make to it so that it would be possible to generate valid xml with
makeinfo.

Thanks,
Charlie
