Provide a fallback for empty labels [#1087074]

Hello, i get :
error on line 4 at column 6: StartTag: invalid element name

In my view preview, i get :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<nodes>
  <node>
    <>Prochainement tombola: un GPS à gagner ainsi que des bons d&#039;achat SNCF (d&#039;une valeur de 15€ et 30€)</>
  </node>
  <node>
    <>Tu recherches une musique diffusée sur GB? Envoi nous la date et l&#039;heure de sa diffusion GB te renverra le nom! (gbradio@hei.fr)</>
  </node>
  <node>
    <>Plus besoin de t&#039;embeter à chercher des nouveaux sons tout frais! GB t&#039;en propose dans l&#039;onglet Playlist actualisé chaque semaine!</>
  </node>
</nodes>

How can i fix it ?

What is the field name for the field that results in an empty XML tag?

I'm experiencing this same issue in the latest 7.x-3.x-dev release. I only have one field in my view... the standard "Content: Title" field (node title). Any ideas as to what could be causing the problem?

Thanks,
Ben

It seems that the problem may result from not having a label specified on the "Content: Title" field.

Unfortunately, it appears that the label is unchecked by default in Views for the "Content: Title" field. So you have to remember to add it.

Ah lovely, maybe we should provide some sensible fallback for an empty tag, as there's no good reason to have one.

Apparently, you get this error also if the label of a field is a string in a different alphabet, e.g., Hebrew characters. They get eliminated when the XML (in my case) is generated, resulting in an empty tag.
