Can you switch to using the XML2 parser?  This is a problem in the swish-e
xml parser -- it's not converting the UTF-8 back to an eight-bit only char
set.

The plan is to add iconv to the parsers in 2.3 development, but currently
only the XML2 parser converts UTF-8 back to 8859-1.

Here's another problem -- which might be a bug.

In html if you say  <em><strong>H</strong>ello</em> you would expect
"Hello" to be indexed as a single word.  But that
means your XML will end up with the word: 'theofrancetelevision' which is
probably not what you want.

If <titel> or <desc> are metanames or properties then that won't happen.
