Output on a latin1 terminal:

cdic_566012.xml
test/ebcdic_566012.xml:1: parser error : encoding not supported EBCDIC
LoÂââ ÂââÂâââ~ÃKÃ@ââÆâââââ~ÃÃÃ`ÃÃÃà on%LÂâÂÂ@ÂÂÂâ~JÃZ an%

test/ebcdic_566012.xml:1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not
found
LoÂââ ÂââÂâââ~ÃKÃ@ââÆâââââ~ÃÃÃ`ÃÃÃà on%LÂâÂÂ@ÂÂÂâ~JÃZ an%
^

And it isn't any prettier on a UTF-8 terminal. I think it doesn't matter
because perl on Cygwin doesn't have EBCDIC either, so why should libxml?

$ perl -MEncode -lwe 'print for Encode->encodings(":all")' | wc -l
124
$ perl -MEncode -lwe 'print for Encode->encodings(":all")' | grep -i ebc
$ # nothing

Going to check later whether I can get the catalogue to work.

Okay. I skipped the W3C test for pure laziness, fearing it was humungous
and difficult. - Okay, so I downloaded it, it's not humungous. On the
other hand, it's not clear to me what I'm supposed to do here. There's
no README for dummies like me. :)
