Are you 100% sure that the String you supply has been constructed
correctly? People often run into problems such as these if the Strings are
constructed from byte arrays or InputStreams with the wrong encoding
specified. In my experience, in about 70% of the cases I've seen, people
who have their XML in a java.lang.String have done something
strange/wrong with encodings earlier.
