Summary: french accents errors?

Initial Comment:
I'm having errors with french accents in iso-8859-1 and utf-8 format 
only at a specific place..

Exemple:
<CLIENT>

<COMPAGNIE>Ville Charlesbourg</COMPAGNIE>
   <CONTACT>

<NOM>Martin Labbé</NOM>
      <COMM 
Type='Phone'>(xxx)xxx</COMM>
   </CONTACT>
</CLIENT>

It 
always stops at <NOM>Martin Labbé</NOM> .. If I either change "é" 
for an "e" it works.. if I simply add 2 chars after the "é" like: 
<NOM>Martin LabbéXX</NOM> it still works...  But it always stops 
when it finishes with "é" or "éX"....

I've tried a few patches.. 
one for expat.h and xmlparse.c wich was unicode changes (#476931, 
#464837).. and another one wich was about xmltok.c (#477667)... 
but with no success..  I always get the error message "mismatched tag 
at line xx"...

I have a lot of "éèàçêÈ" everywhere.. but it seems 
to only stop when it's placed right at the end of a tag..

Anybody 
can help me out?

I've found a way to solve my problem.. The problem was actually with the iso-
8859-1 format making errors with "é" at really specefic places.. I've 
found a converter in C wich transform a text file to utf-8 and the my problems 
where over.. (see attachement)

Here is the web site where I got 
it:

Note:  BTW.. xmlwf works fine on the file.. so it's supposed to be well-
formed in iso-8859-1 format ... and the value of "é" is E9 and 351 (used octal 
dump..)..

thnx.
