"According to the XML 1.0 spec, an XML doc fetched via some transport defaults to the transport's encoding, NOT utf-8. That means that an xml doc (like, say, a feed) that is fetched via http defaults to iso-8859-1 [...] This is only true if the encoding is specified by the transport. Note: with HTTP and a mime type of text/xml without an Omitted Charset, the default per rfc-3023 is us-ascii. However, with a mime type of Application/xml with omitted Charset, the XML declaration is to be respected." - Whit On Thu, 19 May 2005, Joshua Schachter wrote: > > This is bizarre.
