[XML-SIG] problems reading iso-8859-1 data

Have you placed an encoding declaration at the top of your XML file, i.=
e.
something along the lines of

<?xml version=3D"1.0" encoding=3D"iso-8859-1"?>

I'm parsing iso-8859-1 files containing such characters without problem=
=2E

Just a suggestion.

Alan.
