Or labelled as <?xml encoding="iso-8859-1"> but in fact dos 1252 :-(.
I suppose if you assume there won't be any 8-bit ansi control char
thingies then could decode as 1252 instead automatically. The blame
belongs squarely with the feed generator of course and it seems bad to
pander to the worst ones, even if it works out in practice, especially
as bad feeds are each bad in their own different way :-). For what it's
worth in my own program I chucked in a charset override option and left
it at that (having also struck some latin-1 vs utf-8 feed
mis-declarations ...).
