I'd recommend testing with an encoding other than latin1; its codepoints
overlap with UTF-8's, so it doesn't test conversion very well.

getAttribute() is still  entities incorrectly, which is where I had
problems.  In UTF-8, even with use utf8, this prints the raw byte 0xE4:

#!/usr/bin/perl;
use strict;
use warnings;
use utf8;
use XML::DOM;

my $parser = new XML::DOM::Parser;
my $doc = $parser->parse('<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><blah x="test: 
&#228;"/>');
print $doc->getDocumentElement->getAttribute("x");
