Hi ReVo,

$__header contains a string of the first line in the xml. this will
usually contain something like
xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"
since the tag characters are stripped away. But it may also contain
the whole of, or part of, the xml since xml files are valid without
any whitespace.

Alternative 2 is not an option since I want to find out what charset
the xml is, not just set the attributes in the Xml object. I want to
know the charset so I can properly convert all text in the xml for
display.

Using SimpleXML (or "ComplicatedXML" for php4) sort of defeats the
purpose. I am not doing something very complicated but It would suck
to have to toss Cake's Xml and use something else. I think I would
rather just edit the Xml class to store these values if it is in fact
a missing or "broken" functionality.

Sorry, i am a but cranky... time for some food I guess.
Thank you for your suggestions.

/Martin
