Never mind. I figured out that layering on top of libxml2 is little 
non-intuitive, but if I specify optional parameter on 
xml_parser_create() I can read document in whatever encoding supported 
by libxml2 and this encoding is internally converted into utf-8.

$parser = xml_parser_create("utf-8");
