[Expat-discuss] 'ASCII encoding error' with encoding 'iso-8859-1'

[Ken Ward]

No, it's from Python, but I suppose that it results from expat rejecting
the non-ASCII characters.  Maybe not.

Python reads the characters OK - my insufficient workaround is to
translate all characters over 127 to '?' before feeding the XML to the
parser object which expat underlies.
