Apparently, the output of the airport command is in the Mac Roman encoding. It has happened several times that a nonstandard character has caused a REXML::ParseException, and the list of networks was unable to be displayed.

An example is the use of a nonstandard apostrophe in a network name (e.g. "Michael's iPhone"), character 0xD5 in Mac Roman. REXML cannot deal with this character and raises an exception.
