The problem is the extra whitespace included in the <host/> element. By
default, XML does not remove whitespace, so you're actually setting the
hostname to be "\n  servername\n" (or perhaps \r\n, not sure), which is
of course invalid.

Your generator is broken - the two fragments are not equivalent.
