Created attachment 205940
  --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=205940&action=edit
source in valid UTF-16

The attachment 205938 shows nothing to be imported, because the actual encoding
does not fit to the one specified in the file.

The currently used library requires encoding in UTF-8. The import filter should
read the specified encoding and if it is not UTF-8, convert the stream to
UTF-8. Because this filter has no link to the source, converting could be done
on the fly.

Alternatively to converting or if converting is not possible, the import filter
could produce a notice for the user, that the file cannot be handled because
the encoding is not UTF-8.

In addition the documentation should mention, that currently UTF-8 encoding is
required. This affects

and https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Calc/XMLSource
