You are right in that all of the file is encoded in ISO-8859-1 and I account for this by setting the ProtocolEncoding of the Parser. The problem is, that the strings I get *back* from the Parser are NOT in the same encoding, but in UTF-8 (it says so somewhere in the documentation).
Changing the encoding of the input file would be an option, but how do I do this? Just putting 'encoding="UTF-8"' into the XML declaration does not work, because then I get malformedness errors (because the input file is not in UTF-8).
