Summary: Problem parsing Latin-1 symbols

Initial Comment:
Expat 1.95-5

Getting an extra character from the parser when parsing 
extended ASCII characters (161 - 255 decimal).

The XML_CharacterDataHandler function reports 2 
characters for every 1 extended character encountered.

Below is a small XML file demonstrating the problem.
The character handler function reports two charaters (0xC2 
and 0xA9) when the xml file contains only one (0xA9).

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" 
standalone="yes"?>
<data>©</data>

Platform: Windows 2000 exe statically linked to expat.

Expat reports characters encoded as UTF-8 or UTF-16.
It does not generate ISO-8859-1 output.

What you are reporting looks lik UTF-8 encoding,
which means the character 0xA9 will be encoded
in two bytes. This does not appear to be a bug.
