Tangentially related, I'm currently experimenting with a setup that 
stores all xml data in UTF-8 on the server, converting it back to the 
server encoding on output.  This doesn't do anything to solve the 
problem above, but it makes the internal processing much simpler, since 
all of libxml uses UTF-8 internally anyway.  Is anyone opposed to that 
setup on principle?
