I'd guess passing in encoding specification for
ISO-8859-1 (aka ISO-Latin1) might solve the problem
(or at least allow parsing). XML parsers have to
assume UTF-8 if no other information is available, but
chances are the source doc is in some 1-byte encoding,
for which ISO-Latin1 is a reasonable gues.
