The expat sax parser in xml.sax.expatreader does not fully support the InputSource protocol in xml.sax.xmlreader. It only accepts byte streams. It ignores the encoding indicated in the InputStream object and only uses the encoding read from the XML or defaults to UTF-8. Rather than silently doing the wrong thing, it should raise an error when fed a character stream, or when given an encoding, via the InputSource interface. And most importantly, these limitations should be mentioned in the documentation. |

As nobody appears to be interested I'll close this in a couple of weeks unless someone objects. |

Perhaps more people would be interested if you raise the priority. This bug can cause serious data corruption, or even crashes. It should also be tagged as "easy". An alternative would be to remove the expat sax parser from the libraries, since we don't support it. But that seems a little extreme. |
