SCHEMA.XML — Continuation Character?

At the client I’m at we’re doing some customization of the SCHEMA.XML files for the list templates.  Basically, we’re adding some web parts into the pages since our header, footer, and navigation is driven from web parts.  I was over with one of the developers and noticed he was looking at the SCHEMA.XML as a text file.  When I asked why he showed me, VS.2003 wasn’t able to show a XML view.

So I fired up my copy of Stylus Studio (which tells me why something isn’t valid XML in addition to just blowing up.)… I found that there were a few lines in the schema.xml which look like they were “continued.”  They had an exclamation point and a carriage return at the 990th position on a line.  I’ve checked through the other SCHEMA.XML files and can’t find the character … so I don’t know how it got there, but if you run into a schema.xml that won’t load, perhaps some utility has decided to add a line continuation character…
