Hi Thorsten,

Thanks for summarily fixing the xml encoding 
declaration to ISO-8859-1 on a number of xml 
files ;=)) Now no XML parsing errors so far...

Just for curiosity, delved a little further, 
prior to your changes, well git of 2012/03/30,
and found some 21,000 files ending '.xml' in 
fgdata, some 8 million lines, 237 MB!

The largest is AAL.xml 20 MB, 600 K lines, 2 blank 
files, 1 with a UTF-8 BOM, 36 with ISO-8859-1 
encoding declaration, 7733 with UTF-8, 1 with 
Windows-1250, 12328 with no encoding, and 
900 with NO <?xml declaration at all!

After your commit of what, some 300+, xml file 
changes, and of others since 30/03, now 21,229 
xml files, 234 MB, there is no BOM, 336 with 
ISO-8859-1, 7635 with UTF-8, 1 Windows-1250,
12353 with NO encoding, and 902 with NO <?xml 
declaration...

Now back to FLYING ;=))

Regards,
Geoff.
