That's a message generated by libxml2, not by swish-e.  Code in swish-e
causes it to print, so there should be a way to print the file.

I wonder if it's more a problem of libxml2 not figuring out the encoding
correctly -- or perhaps truly an invalid sequence of bytes for the given
encoding.  How to deal with it probably depends on what the problem is.
