This is sometimes useful, especially if the bytes downloaded use some strange encoding, which needs to be handled manually before.

Usually feeds containing non-utf8 data can be loaded via:

Their XML header that should describe their encoding: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="latin-1"?>. In this case it makes sense to pass raw bytes to the XML parsing library so that it can decode using the information embedded in the data.
Doing a atoma.parse_atom_bytes(latin_1_feed_bytes.decode('latin-1').encode()). Not very elegant but gets the job done.

Let me know if I'm missing something.
