Sorry, I didn't explain the assumption that I make.

The XSP document has to be in a certain encoding.
The assumption I make is that if the XSP document says

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="XXXX"?>

Then the external data should be the same as the encoding specified for 
the document. If you want to use, say, an UTF encoded string in a EUC-JP 
encoded document, then that's your perogative ( in which case 
AxKit::XSP::CharsetConv will do ).

The gripe that I had was that the document was encoded in EUC-JP, and 
the data I was importing was guaranteed to be EUC-JP, and I had no way 
of forcing that assumption throughout the XSP document. So I thought, if 
the string conversion is going to give an error, it might as well assume 
that all strings, including those imported from outside source, be the 
same encoding as the document itself.

Like I said, I think this is really naive, so if somebody can do 
something about having to convert every variable imported from the 
database, that's better...
