DOCBOOK-APPS: Re: Fwd: French error message

Oh, I dunno. I've given up on the default parser in Saxon (AElfred).
I've just stumbled over bugs in it too many times. I recommend Xerces.
And a proper Java VM so that you can run Saxon instead of InstantSaxon
if necessary :-)

Try running your sources through a simple parser, like the xread app
in the resolver distribution. That should choke on the bad encoding
and provide an approximate location. I think. Should, anyway.
