This has nothing to do with ASCII vs. UTF-8. The problem is that "meta
rel='action_author'" is not a valid XML *element* name, so it needs to be
escaped. What you are trying to achieve is presumably to get a meta element
with a rel attribute. To get that, you will have to run the result of
query_to_xml through some postprocessing (with XSLT, for example).
