SAX-Parser entity

[fabi.kreutz at gmx.de]

Hi, Harvey!

Ahh, utf-16 sounds good.
Thanks, I have at least one solution:
Reading the xml-file into a buffer and convert it to utf-16.
minidom is then able to parse the whole thing and saves the strings in
unicode, which is fine again.

I do not understand the part with "If your parser supports...". As it seems
to me, the minidom default parser does not support ISO 8859/1 and even
unicode makes problems only.
I didn't know, you can reprogram the parser so easily.

Anyway, thanks a lot. Bye
	Fabian
