setEncoding broken? (Was re: accented characters in XMLRPC arguments)

[Dylan McNamee]

At the risk of chatting with myself on a public mailing list, I hereby  
revise my last email to say "it would seem that  
XmlRpc.setEncoding("UTF-8") is broken in 1.2-b1".

I've tried calling this, as well as "UTF8" (since that's what Java  
seems to like to call it), and regardless, it doesn't seem to affect  
how the parser is configured, nor does whether I call setEncoding  
before or after creating my xmlrpcClient. Regardless of any of these  
permutations, I always get this exception:

java.io.IOException: Invalid character data corresponding to XML entity  
√
	at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient$Worker.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:444)
	at org.apache.xmlrpc.XmlRpcClient.execute(XmlRpcClient.java:163)

The author of MinML says he's working on encoding-related stuff, but  
that was in March, and nothing seems to have moved.

Does anyone else see this?

Thanks!
