If there is a german umlaut in "site.xml", then build fails with:

linkmap.html  BROKEN: Invalid byte 2 of 2-byte UTF-8 sequence.
BUILD FAILED

Funny, I have been using Umlaute with 0.7 head all over my site.xml and never had a problem compiling it. See below:

Still unclear to me: Am I correct that this is an _editor problem_ in
the sense that no encoding-attribute means the file is utf-8 but
Roland's editor needed a stronger hint?

No it is not an editor problem. In the absence of an encoding attribute the editor will assume a certain type of encoding. What this assumption is would be dependant on the local settings of the editor (in some cases this means the settings of the Operating System).

Since the template files do use UTF-8 it makes sense for them to be
defined as using UTF-8.
