XMLlib does not parse

[Björnke von Gierke]

I am new to XML and try to use rev to read a PAD file. I have a problem 
where the revCreateXMLTree function does generate this error:
xmlerr, can't parse xml
Unsupported encoding windows-1252

however every xml I looked at had that encoding, so it seems to be 
quite often used, why then does rev not know it?
