ooops. the text goes even further on that page:

"More over when compiled on an Unix platform with iconv support the
full set of encodings supported by iconv can be instantly be used by
libxml. On a linux machine with glibc-2.1 the list of supported
encodings and aliases fill 3 full pages, and include UCS-4, the full
set of ISO-Latin encodings, and the various Japanese ones."

But that won't help the original poster since he's using windows..

Just for the record:

>From http://xmlsoft.org/encoding.html:

Default supported encodings [by libxml2]

libxml has a set of default converters for the following encodings
(located in encoding.c):

   1. UTF-8 is supported by default (null handlers)
   2. UTF-16, both little and big endian
   3. ISO-Latin-1 (ISO-8859-1) covering most western languages
   4. ASCII, useful mostly for saving
   5. HTML, a specific handler for the conversion of UTF-8 to ASCII
with HTML predefined entities like &copy; for the Copyright sign.

I think it is expected behaviour. According to XML specification the
only encodings, XML parsers must support are UTF-8 and UTF-16. libxml2
by default supports them and iso-8859-1.
 So you should workaround your problem by converting your XML documents
to UTF-8 (you can also do it on the fly using iconv() function).
 
2 PHP Developers: I think this bug should be moved to "Documentation
problem" category, because documentation miss this important note about
list of supported encodings and how to handle documents with other
encodings.

short script:
<?php
if(!$dom = domxml_open_file("b00000000001.xml")) {
  echo "Error while parsing the document\n";
  exit;
}
$root = $dom->document_element();
print_r($root);
?>
return: "Error while parsing the document"
when xml document has encoding option, like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding='WINDOWS-1251' ?>
without "encoding='WINDOWS-1251'" it work ok.
