TIMELINE: IE6 won't show complete dataset, if German 'Umlaute" are in it

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
Create a dataset (XML, JSON, etc.) where a German 'Umlaut' (ü,ä, etc.) is
in the text within an <event> tag.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Timeline plot is drawn, but without data. IE6 reports an error "Line: 1546;
Row:52, Object expected"

What version of the product are you using? On what browser and what
operating system?
timeline_libraries_v2.3.0.zip, IE 6.0.2900.5512, Win XP SP3

My guess is that the xml file is not set to contain UTF-8 data. The first line 
of the
xml file should be 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Please provide a public url that shows the error. 

Thanks.
