Summary: not supported windows-1251 character set

Initial Comment:
Hello.
I have found a problem with parse XML documents, that 
contains cyrilic symbols in attribute value
something like 
<test><msg v="ôûâà" /></test> 
raises exceprion
"not well-formed ....."

i test all cyrilic characters and found that exception 
raises when character code more than 0xF0 but i can be 
at fault

i try use .enc file, but it's not work in my case

I think that it is a bug.

This is not a bug.  Your sample XML does not include an XML
declaration, so it will be treated as UTF-8.  If you need it
to be treated differently, include an XML declaration with
the proper encoding pseudo-attribute.

Expat support UTF-8, UTF-16, ISO-8859-1, and US-ASCII
encodings natively; you can extend the set of supported
encodings using the XML_SetUnknownEncodingHandler() function.
