--- Comment #17 from Michael Stahl <[email protected]> ---

it appears that libxml2 has built-in support for just a
few standard encodings like UTF-8/UTF-16/ISO 8859-*
and everything else is handled by an optional iconv dependency.

LO does not bundle libiconv on Windows; on Linux the bundled
libxml2 will pick up iconv on the system, on Mac we use the
system libxml2 which should have iconv support.

this problem only affects XSLT based filters which are not
very popular (mainly for legacy MSO 2003 XML formats and XHTML).

hmm... i don't think that adding support for obscure encodings
used in obscure formats only on Windows is a good use of resources.

as a workaround there is the "old" XSLT import filter based
on Saxon which presumably (since this is a regression) supported
more encodings, now available as an extension from
