XML fully supports Unicode and a bunch of other character sets, so representing European characters is no problem at all on the XML level -- no need to invent weird tags for that purpose.I guess that what you describe as "correctly" means that Frontier doesn't handle this at all -- it just passes ISO Latin 1 (or ISO-8859-1-Windows-3.1-Latin-1, to be specific) without specifying an encoding in the XML header. While XP correctly defaults to UTF-8 (an 8-bit Unicode encoding) in that case.
Try modifying the XML header to include encoding='ISO-8859-1' before passing it to XP.
Don't know if the Userland folks are working on Unicode support for future Frontier versions, but they probably should ;-)
