  For any XML input just use xmllint --encode UTF-8 ...It will take care of
the encoding conversion, and adjust the XML declaration accordingly

laptop:~ -> cat XML/test/isolat1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<tr�s>l�</tr�s>
laptop:~ -> xmllint --encode utf8 XML/test/isolat1
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf8"?>
<très>là</très>
laptop:~ ->

  Using "UTF-8" might be a bit cleaner than "utf8" but sysnonyms like this
are usually processed fine.
