Hm, when I read the docs on php.net I must assume that this will not 
change. Only ASCII, latin1 and utf-8 are supported.

So I guess the only possible thing to do is to detect the charset before 
xml_parser_create() is called. If it's not one of the 3 supported charsets, 
convert the data to UTF-8. Then convert the resul array back to the 
original charset.
