[Zope] Swedish characters and XMLDocument-1.0a4

[Alexander Staubo]

I'm not much of an expert on character sets, but the default character
encoding in XML is UTF-8, not ISO 8859 as with HTML. Therefore, entering
ISO characters will not translate correctly, and this might account for
your problems.

To specify that the document contents is encoded in ISO 8859-1 (ie., ISO
Latin 1), modify the document heading to say:

	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

Cheers,

Alexander Staubo
