[reportlab-users] pyRXP and xbel

Hi all - I was just wondering -

I have a netscape bookmarks file which I convert into xbel with ns_parse.
the xbel file contains ids which are the same as the original .html ids, but 
they contain characters such as #, $, and + in them.

When I try to parse these files with pyRXP, I get the message

The attribute id of element folder is declared as ID but contains a character 
which is not a name character
Parse Failed!

So now my question is:

bug in ns_parse? should it convert the ids to valid XML ids?

Option in pyRXP? Is there a way to get it to accept these characters in IDs?
