We just spent a few weeks with an end user and IBM on this very 
issue.  Bottom line is that the UV XML parser  does not handle UTF-8 
characters.  Due to the needs of our customer, IBM has agreed to add 
an "enhancement" in a near future patch release.

The enhancement will do the following:
"The partial solution where the XML tags must be in ASCII but text 
and attribute values can be double byte character set (using UTF-8 
encoding) will be implemented as a patch release."

In a future major release, there is talk of a complete re-working of 
IBM's XML implementation. If IBM were to do this, their XML processor 
would finally be encoding agnostic.

I urge you to let IBM know of your use of the XML parser needs now so 
that they can weigh the priority of scheduling the XML parser changes 
accordingly.  As I stated, this is already on the board for some 
changes but is currently scheduled a few months off right now.
