XOM API for Processing XML with Java

["Nick Day" <the_doctor_nick AT hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I've been having a bit of trouble parsing a HTML file (attached) into a 
document and keep getting the error below.  Do I need to preprocess the file 
into a different encoding before attempting the creation of the Document 
object or am I way off?

thanks,
Nick
