Ok, that helps.  Thanks.

So what I need is a way to then skip over the UTF-8 characters, and
continue the Latin-1 convertion.  I'm looking at the docs: 

So I should be able to pass the string to xmlUTF8Strlen() to get the length
of the UTF-8 character, skip that many bytes, and pass it back to
UTF8Toisolat1 to continue processing.  Sound right?

Aren't all features that way? ;)

I wasn't talking about changing UTF8Toisolat1(), of course.
