I'd first try it and see what happens. The only time I've ever had a
problem was when I had to return XML from an AJaX call and it was
pretty easy to get around by specifying the charset as you listed:
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="true">
<cfcontent type="text/xml; charset=UTF-8" reset="Yes" />
<cfoutput>
#toString ( getProfileXML ( URL.profile, URL.version, URL.directory ) )#
</cfoutput>
</cfprocessingdirective>
Took me longer than it should have to catch it, but once I realized
the problem the fix was easy. And you've already realized the fix -
even if you didn't quite know what it fixed. :-)
