I hate to be the one defending Daniel here, because I often think he's a
bit too grumpy in situations like this. But in this case Daniel's
documentation seems plenty clear enough to at least get a start on the
problem.

http://xmlsoft.org/encoding.html:

"One of the core decision was to force all documents to be converted to
a default internal encoding, and that encoding to be UTF-8."

http://xmlsoft.org/html/libxml-encoding.html:

Has what looks to me like encoding conversion functions. Try them out.
Let us know how they work.

(Once you've figured out how to do this, it would be great if despite
the beating you're taking here you could write up a self-contained
snippet of code that deals with the issue. I'll figure out some way to
add it to the documentation so others can use it.)
