Actually, I just found the answer I was looking for:

I read in the XML off of a socket and into a character buffer and then into
a MemBufInputSource object.
I found the "setEncoding" method to that object, and added the line:

memBufIS->setEncoding ( XMLString::transcode( "iso-8859-1" ) ) ;

Now, the foreign character in the generic xs:string field validates, but the
other one fails.
That's OK because it is validating against a pattern of [A-Z]

Thanks for the assistance.  Maybe this thread will help someone else.

If you get a UTFDataFormatException, you are using the UTF-8 transcoder, 
and not the iso-8859 one. Have you tried running the sample DOMPrint on the 
XML file? If it fails, you should attach a test XML to your mail so that we 
can reproduce the problem.
