Thanks for the reply.
Makes sense, I'll try it like you suggest.
People may still want to set character-set and indentation of the serialsed
XML, or is the character-set treated transparently?
In fact I don't really understand the issues of Character Sets here, can
anybody help?
Assuming that you do not want to change the character-set of a document
that you are inserting Nodes into, and it might be anything, and you don't
know what character-set the Request is going to be, what do you do?
This is something I never worked out properly in the FP TagLib, and it
caused problems for people not using utf-8, I'd rather get it right this
time ;)
Thanks for your help
regards Jeremy
