I have had this problem with SoapUI twice. It appears to be very very  
fussy about any characters between the tags in the wdsl.  The error  
message it gives is very misleading because the XML is in fact well  
formed - I confirmed this with two different XML validators.

Some sites when you download the wsdl include hyphens ("-") between  
the tags - which is how it appears in a browser.

The wsdl I had trouble with looked like this:

<tag ..... >
    <andothertag ... >
     -
Manually removing the hyphens cleared the problem.
