Invalid XML characters on Facebook's response cause the parser to fail

[GoogleCodeExporter]

We've found some exceptions when retrieving the XML response from a FQL
request. Those exceptions are logged as fatal errors like this one:

[Fatal Error]: An invalid XML character (Unicode: 0xb) was found in the
element content of the document.

This exception occurs inside the "parseCallResult" method of the
FacebookXmlRestClient class. I'm attaching a file that contains my modified
parseCallResult method and 2 new functions that are called from the
modified method. This is working for us now, so I hope you can incorporate
this (or a better way to do it, which probably exists) into the new
version, as this is probably happening to other people as well. We've
experienced this only with certain users. I'll open a bug at Facebook, as
it's really a problem on their side for sending invalid chars as part of
the XML.

Thanks. Could you attach this in the form of a patch that can be easily applied 
in 
Eclipse using Team --> Apply Patch?
