Import a glossary--but it is empty

Question

Trying to get a glossary from a previous version of RH into RH 8. I only have the published version of the old.
The .glo file has the format:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<glossary version="1.0">
<glossentry>
<glossterm>blah</glossterm>
<glossdef>blah blah</glossdef>
</glossentry>
</glossary>
the older file had the format
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8' ?>
<glossarydata>
<entry name="blah" value="blah blah" />
I edited the content of the old file to have the xml tags in the .glo, and saved the old as a .glo extension.
But when I import the old.glo, the list is empty. Any ideas?

Willam,
There were no XML errors (according to the online validator at http://www.w3schools.com/XML/xml_validator.asp)
The sole error at http://www.validome.org/xml/validate/  is an undeclared "declaration of element 'glossary'".
However, the file did have two encoding statements:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
(which was not an error in either  validator)
When I removed one, the glossary magically had info.
