Hi,

It looks like expat refuses the alias "latin1" for the encoding
"ISO-8859-1" as it returns a fatalError that raises a SaxException when
using

Sax2.FromXml('<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"latin1"?><try>=E0=E9=E8=F9<=
/try>')

The XML spec says that parsers *may* recognize aliases defined by IANA, so
I wouldn't call it a bug. Did I miss a parameter to set up somewhere to
get expat to recognize "latin1" ?
