Hi, Dean,
sorry for replying late to your various mails. I've been in vacation until today. Trying to work up my old mails. Expect me to reply to everything until tomorrow.

so what is the point of the xml spec having the encoding attribute if you have to figure out the encoding before you even get to the specified encoding.
Detecting the encoding from the first bytes is not always possible. There are a real lot of encodings, which are upwards compatible to ASCII in the range of 0..127, for example US-ASCII itself (obviously), ISO-8859-1, and UTF-8.
In the above cases, the encoding is required. Jochen --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
