A88 complement
As pointed out, voluntary XP sacrifices for casting spells or creating magical items cannot bring you below the minimum XP score for your level. You need to have enough XP free to sacrifice before starting either or the activity fails.
The only way (that I know) of losing XP that can reduce your current level is the XP reduction following the loss of a familiar, item familiar or psicrystal; those can drop you a level if you're reduced below the current minimum.

In addition the aforementioned methods, there are also the Bloodlines rules from Unearthed Arcana. Each bloodline level (up to 3 with a major bloodline) raise all of your maximum skill ranks by 1 without changing your character level.

DM: At the end of the meal, the innkeeper is bringing you the cheese plate. Roll for initiative.
PC: Excuse me, what?
DM: I said, roll for initiative. They like their cheese really ripe in these parts. They have the ooze type.
"Excuse me, but... is it a GOOD or a BAD thing when the DM can't help bursting into laughter every time he hears the phrase 'level-appropriate encounter'? No, just curious..."
