A halfway intelligent parser would accept Unicode when it gets it

structural events or building a parse tree.
The trivial fix I use in Twiddler is as follows:
if isinstance(source,unicode):
source = source.encode('utf-8')
Of course, this assumes a heading of either <?xml version="1.0"
encoding="utf-8"?> or a missing encoding attribute, in which case the
xml spec states that the string must be utf-8 encoded.
The problem comes when someone sends you something like:
u'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="something-else"?><node />'
What should be done then?
