Yes, indeed.  You should never use a Reader of any sort when processing
XML (unless you have a non-standard Reader class that understands the
XML declaration).  Always use an InputSource so that the parser can
install its own bytes-to-chars converter based on the declaration.

Actually, it's doing what it's expected to: reading the native charset,
CP-1252.  (Unix JVMs use 8859-1 instead.)  It has no way of knowing that
*you* think the document charset is UTF-8.
