The XML in your post is ok. I just pasted it into an XML editor and it validates OK.
However, this is what i've seen in Eclipse as well when editing XML files for my android projects, especially XML files for layout in Eclipse's layout-editor plugin for Android. Sometimes an error is reported when there is none. And most of the time i could get rid of the error by removing whitespace and re-adding it; e.g. by deleting a new-line and replacing it by a space. It has me puzzled... i suspect there is something going on with the white-space handling of the layout-plugin that handles XML files. Maybe Cr+Lf versus just Lf, i don't know....
