[FOR-1231] Forrest does not deal properly with UTF-8 .xml content, even with the proper XML content-type header, and generates corrupted HTML

Description

We're using Forrest to generate the Apache ManifoldCF site. We've added Japanese content. The content worked fine via localhost:8888, but the generated html content does not load properly in a browser, even though the browser correctly divines that the HTML page has utf-8 encoding. It looks like many utf-8 characters in the source XML are handled correctly but some are corrupted. I've also tried the fix in FORREST-668 but this does not help. See http://incubator.apache.org/connectors and click on the tab in Japanese to see what I mean. The current source for the site can be found in: https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/incubator/lcf/trunk/site.

I checked out latest Forrest trunk and built and used that but there has been no improvement.
