Sounds like it’s actually using XSLT or some kind of content validation. Which to be honest sounds like a good practice.

Here's an example of a text object taken from the XML, if you're curious: https://clips.clb92.xyz/2024-09-08_22-27-04_gfxTWDQt13RMnTIS.png

EDIT: And with more complicated strings (like ones havingnumbers or symbols - just regular-ass ASCII symbols, mind you) there will be tens of , because apparently numbers and letters don't even work the same. Even line breaks have their own . And if the number of these and their charLen don't match what's actually in pt:data, it won't open the file.
