The cancel button on delete still leads to blank, but also after successful
delete the screen is blank. Retargeting this at 1.5.

Not able to reproduce the blank screen after successful delete. I get a Success
message.

Fixed. Not closing the bug right now as other changes in registry will also be
made, so will close this after testing of registry.

Was able to reproduce the behaviour which Matt reported. This happens in cases
where there is a special character in the document. This is true for both edit
and delete functions.

For both edit and delete function, the document is retrieved from metacat and
parsed using XML::Lib->XML. Thats where the error occurs - the script exits
without doing anything and hence giving a blank screen. LibXML is not able to
read special characters.

Solution is to normalize before editing and deleting.
