The problem, then, may be that the .xml file doesn't like WordPad. This bears closer scrutiny.
It sounds like using Wordpad to edit the xml may be the issue. I have been just using Notepad and Notepad++. I haven't had any parsing errors yet.

p.s. Notepad++ makes it easier to edit, but the find function is very slow on my computer. If I am making a quick change, Notepad can find the nation, state, city I am looking for much quicker.
