XML-RPC String and special characters (euro symbol)

Hi XML-RPC folks,


Spending some time with XML-RPC, I found that it was not possible to 
send a string containing euro symbol (I got an XmlRpcException). While 
browsing CVS and reading the newsgroups, it seems that it is/was caused 
by it was caused by XML-RPC spec itself which was not clear enough.

Tell me if I am wrong, my understanding is that it was not clear if the 
string could contain special characters due to a mention to "ASCII 
strings". Now it seems that this point has been (1).

I think that this commit should be reverted so that we could encode 
special characters (like euro symbol) again in strings :
(diff between 1.3 and 1.4 of XmlWriter)

Thanks,


	Quentin
