Wow.  This XML file is encoded in little endian UTF-16, with
the byte marker even! I have never once, ever, seen a file like this.
The wide character unicode encodings are widely seen as a mistake,
honestly.  The whole world is moving to UTF-8 very rapidly.

I *think* our parser (which is an expat derivative) would actually
support this, but unfortunately the file is invalid -- XML files that
are not encoded in US-ASCII are required to specify their encoding in
the <?xml?> tag at the top of the file, and this one doesn't.  So the
parser just sees garbage.

What on earth generated this thing?  Obviously you didn't type it. :)
