Summary: error decoding UTF-8 triplet

Initial Comment:
On Windows, when reading the UTF-8 sequence "EF 
BA BF", utf8_isInvalid3 returns TRUE, when it should 
return FALSE. This UTF-8 sequence encodes to "FEBF" 
as UCS-2 (Unicode), but as a result of utf8_isInvalid3 
returning TRUE, an error results and the character isn't 
decoded properly.

This is using expat 1.95.4.

Attached is a simple XML file which illustrates the 
problem.
