Looks like the page is not well-formed XML (i.e. not XML at all). If it
doesn't specify an encoding (<?xml encoding="..."?>), you can try recoding the
input, possibly decoding it from latin-1 and re-encoding it as UTF-8 before
passing it to the SAX parser.
Alternatively, tell the page authors to fix their page.
