| Well, that is why I suggested he look at what was actually getting sent in the Apple Event.
I've used the AppleEvents sample more times than I can count over the last three plus years to send XML to FCP 5, 6 & 7. I know it works and I know you don't get a request for a DTD. I know that we made a lot of improvements in the XML parsing in 7.0 so I'm not surprised that 7.0 is able to do better. I've also worked with a number of developers over the last three years who are are using apple events to send XML to the older versions of FCP so I know there is no general problem with sending XML.
Given that he said importing the same XML works in 5 & 6 that implies the error is in what is actually getting sent in the apple event.

As Brad's indicated, his method - whether right or wrong - works with the latest and greatest but fails with an unexpected result in 6 and 5. Personally, I only have a need to read XML from FCP so I've not run into this, but it does lead one to wonder what changed that would allow an incorrect XML event to work in the new generation.

Some people get tripped up - expecting that should give it the name of an XML document - you don't. You open the XML document in the test application and when you run a sendXML it will send the contents of the frontmost document. It works this way to make it easy to get XML from FCP, modify it and send it back.
I feel certain there is something wrong with the actual bytes being sent by your app. Plenty of developers have used this functionality without reporting the issue you describe. Please turn on AppleEvent tracing and verify that the characters being are actually correct.
