it's 'just" a matter of how diacritics are handled. If you strictly have 
only english strings in your DB (no é, à, ç or chinese, arab, 
japanese...), then you could probably continue with your SAX::Parser
but at the 1st non-English character you'll enter, you'll see that the 
problem is not subtle ;-)
So, you should probably fix the problem to avoid asking yourself "what 
happens with my é" in 2 years (were you'll have forgotten this Parser 
subtlety ;-)
