Probably Zope 2.6.x does, but rather untested. Zope 2.7 is more
likely to do so, but that isn't released yet, and Silva doesn't
quite work out of the box the last time I tested it.

Which parsers did you try to use? There are a whole bunch of them;
PyXML (with expat), libxml and a host more.

What did the XML file claim to be in its header? If nothing, then
it defaults to UTF-8.
