For some reason, I get a string in SBCL which is an (simple-base string 2) and, unfortunately, that is not a subtype of '(simple-array character)).

So to load my file with CXML, I have to change the type of simple-rod to: '(or (simple-array rune) simple-base-string).

A patch is attached. Alternative suggestions would also be appreciated.

thanks,

Cyrus
