ooops. the text goes even further on that page:

"More over when compiled on an Unix platform with iconv support the
full set of encodings supported by iconv can be instantly be used by
libxml. On a linux machine with glibc-2.1 the list of supported
encodings and aliases fill 3 full pages, and include UCS-4, the full
set of ISO-Latin encodings, and the various Japanese ones."

But that won't help the original poster since he's using windows..

Just for the record:

>From http://xmlsoft.org/encoding.html: 

Default supported encodings [by libxml2]

libxml has a set of default converters for the following encodings
(located in encoding.c):

   1. UTF-8 is supported by default (null handlers)
   2. UTF-16, both little and big endian
   3. ISO-Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) covering most western languages
   4. ASCII, useful mostly for saving
   5. HTML, a specific handler for the conversion of UTF-8 to ASCII
with HTML predefined entities like © for the Copyright sign.

I think it is expected behaviour. According to XML specification the
only encodings, XML parsers must support are UTF-8 and UTF-16. libxml2
by default supports them and iso-8859-1. 
 So you should workaround your problem by converting your XML documents
to UTF-8 (you can also do it on the fly using iconv() function). 
 
2 PHP Developers: I think this bug should be moved to "Documentation
problem" category, because documentation miss this important note about
list of supported encodings and how to handle documents with other
encodings.
