Description

1. It constructs an InputSource with a Reader instead of with an InputStream,
thus effectively forcing the XML parser to interpret the XML file as it is
written in default platform encoding instead of honoring eventual <?xml
encoding="..."?> declarations.

2. It does not set the system id of the input source to "file://" +
file.getAbsolutePath(), therefore making it impossible to resolve external
entities referenced by relative URLs in the XML file.

A patch is attached that fixes both problems.
