Summary: ill-formed output for `xmlwf -c -d` on ISO-8859-1

Initial Comment:
If I run:
   xmlwf -c -d /tmp bug.xml

with bug.xml containing:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
<e a="A&eacute;">123</e>
</html>

then the result is:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0
Strict//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<html>
&eacute;123</e>
</html>

The start tag for e is lost and the entity ref in the
attribute is copied.

Note that this bug does not happen if the encoding is
UTF-8 or US-ASCII.

Fixed in xmlparse.c rev. 1.149.
Needs testing.

It appears this is caused by an inapproriate call to the default 
handler in appendAttributeValue(). Removing this call seems 
to fix the problem. Please apply and test the patch attached 
as file patch1.diff.
