Import of an export from Grouper gave error due to character encoding issues

Hi,

An import of an export from Grouper gave me the following error:

[java] [Fatal Error] export-cats-and-dogs.xml:145:30: Invalid byte 2
of 3-byte UTF-8 sequence.

Looking at the XML, I see that different encoding is used for the umlaut
in the 'name' attribute of the 'source' tag to that used for the
contents of the 'description' tag.

<source id='fub'
name='Freie Universität Berlin'

class='edu.internet2.middleware.subject.provider.JDBCSourceAdapter'
>
<subjectType name='person'/>
</source>
</subjectSourceMetaData>
</metadata>
<data>

<!-- 'fub' -->
<stem extension='fub'
displayExtension='FU Berlin'
name='fub'
displayName='FU Berlin'
id='148c85b9-9ed8-4721-b33b-65c71025f938'
>
<description>Freie Universität Berlin</description>

Replacing the 'ä' with 'ä' allows the import to succeed.

Is this a known issue?
