== Overview ==

XML files that contain characters from sets other than UTF-8 will not load. This happens often as users will paste content from MS documents into XML files containing WINDOWS-1252 characters making the content WINDOWS-1252 rather than UTF-8. This content should be converted to UTF-8 where possible and more importantly to make sure that it doesn't create issues in the rest of the processing stream which almost always assumes UTF-8.
