There is also a thread in the bug newsgroup regarding XML and UTF-8 encoding. We also came to the conclusion that the default encoding should be used when the file is not in UTF-8 and if it's an XML file where the encoding is not specified. I believe that is the common way of oding things in other editors as well.
