Just because perl supports an encoding does not mean that the xml parser
does. expat is written in C, not perl. According to the article by Clark
Cooper on xml.com (but back in 1999)
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/1999/09/expat/index.html
the supported encodings are utf-8, utf-16, iso-8859-1, and US-ASCII.
