The problem is not the characters in [\200-\377], the problem
is that XML defaults to UTF8 unless tagged as ISO-8859-1. So,
rather than do all this messy processing, just use the proper encoding
line:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='ISO-8859-1'?>
Then every compliant XML parse will handle non-american characters
just fine. No editing required.
