Comment:

 While reviewing the ticket it came to my attentation that not both
 existing patches do apply clean any longer (not a big deal here).

 I suggest to merge them both, offer correct working routines (first patch
 is UTF8 centric, I have plans to extend that for the XML wellformatness as
 well).

 From those routines other parts of the software can benefit as well (
 wp_check_invalid_utf8() should get some care an benefit ) so I strongly
 suggest to have them in. We do not have a solid and safe working utf-8
 validation function right now.
