Invalid XML Exception

[Paul Hethmon]

The bug is on the generating side, it’s not putting the proper padding on the encoded string.

I think I can make a case that the XML Tooling code should throw an error here or take the Apache approach and assume the padding. Given this is with a v2 system, there is no fix to be made there, not sure if v3 is essentially the same code.
