I am convinced that the metadata.xml file is UTF-8. When I spell Cronert
with the umlaut, the corresponding HTML page fails to appear in the
resultant collection.

Please find attached the offending metadata.xml file and the config file
that I use. I have a separate directory for each HTML document -- the
directory contains the HTML document, associated image files, and the
metadata.xml file.
