Rolf Ade just pointed out to me that I didn't read your code.
You passed the ISO-8859-1 encoding to the parser, so there
was no error on your side.

However, what you reported looks exactly like what a word processor
would show you when it expects ISO-8859-1, but gets UTF-8 (tested with Wordpad).
Now, this would be a correct result, since Expat only passes UTF-8
or UTF-16 to its handlers, no matter what the input.
