As for the forbidden numerical character entites from € to š, we can interpret them as if they came from Micro$oft (most likely) and convert them to whatever they should be (by table).

They translate to Unicode 128-154. Unicode 0-255 is identical with ISO-8859-1.
There are many other Unicode (and ISO-8859) characters that mean nothing, so this is not a problem.
