I am having an issue with retrieving a user profile with GetUserProfile() method. It appears to be related to password encryption. When I call the method for several of our profiles, the web service proxy class throws an exception referencing an error in the XML document:

There is an error in XML document (1, 1202). ' ', hexadecimal value 0x1D, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1102.

I think the password property should either be decrypted before being put in the response or should be encapsulate in a CDATA tag. I would tend to lean toward decrypting the password - otherwise the web service API doesn't provide a facility to validate the password and change it if necessary.
The XML being returned from the web service for one of the requests is:
