Nice catch Masataka, thanks a lot.

I found out that the problem was with 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Shift_JIS"?>
which causes the XML parser to read the XML content as shift-jis, even though
the validator systematically transcodes everything to UTF-8 without passing it
to the different parsers.

I'm looking at whether I can tell the XML parser to ignore the encoding="..."
or whether I should be rewriting the value to be UTF-8.
