[VE][139] Error Message Feedback

The trademark symbol (character number 153) properly displays in my XML
file when the following XML encoding is declared:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

However, the SGML validation fails on this character.  It will only
validate properly if the (tm) character is placed or if the &trade;
entity is used.  But doing this yields a (?) in the XML output.
 
Please advise.
