 1. Paste a form feed character (aka \f or U+000C) into a post
 2. Tools > Export > Download Export File
 3. Validate the exported file (i.e. xmlstarlet validate --well-formed
 ~/Downloads/test.wordpress.2013-11-07.xml)

 The resulting file is not well-formed XML because WordPress has failed to
 strip characters which are not allowed by the XML specification (
 http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charsets ).
