Hi this is a cross post that I posted to the "bugs" forum was well. I am not sure if this is an Umbrco bug, or just a usage caveat...

umbraco v 4.0.3 (Assembly version: 1.0.3625.27276), ASP.NET 3.5, IIS7.5, Windows Server 2008

we are using the translation tasks, since it is the best way to integrate our pages with our translation management tools. Anyway, when a nodeName contains non-ascii-7 characters, Umbraco escapes them with valid escaped HTML, suche as Conditions générales for "Conditions genéralés". This is fine, and our translation tool handles it. However, when I try to import (Upload translation task results), Umbraco prduces a nice stack trace. And we've traced it to the nodName in the XML header that contains these valid HTML escapes. This can't be a feature, since Umbraco crashes on the nodeName that it generated. Any tips? Thanks!

I can send any and all files as required. Below is, first, the XML, which works fine if you remove the HTML escapes in the node name, and the stack trace.
