In the project I''m workin on, we also need accented characters
(frnech), and using UTF-8 alone will not work. I had to set the HTML
encoding to ISO-8859-1, and have every XML responses return UTF-8
encoded strings. I don''t know exactly why UTF-8 would not work with
HTML, but with this combinaison, there''s no need to convert special
characters into any entities like that (except for the XML 1.0
entities : & '' " < and >)
