This message almost invariably means that the XML file is not encoded in
UTF-8, but it lacks an XML declaration, so AElfred has assumed that it is in
UTF-8.

The 0x92 suggests to me that the file might be in the Windows CP1250
character code.

(The incorrect line and column number also tends to be a consequence of
AElfred attempting to use the wrong decoding).
