Parsers are allowed to cover other characters, that's case of IE and allows this result to be displayed.
I knew about illegal XML characters, but I felt there was a trick about Internet Explorer, so I cheated 🙂
Other web browsers (Mozilla Firefox, Opera, and Google Chrome) show an error message about incorrect xml characters when trying to open that XML file. Tricky question about a specific application (IE)...
Specific application (IE) is so specific I felt free to use it.
IE (or it's core) is used so many ways in applications, it's knowledge is fundamental.
It's the one browser you find near any SQL Server.
I don't use IE if I don't have to.
But I use some applications that use it's core.
