I don't have 0.3x on my system anymore, but I do not think UTF16 will
behave any differently. .to_s is written incorrectly, from what I can
tell, since it just feeds the encoding of the document back into the
formatter. But in either case, if you want the as-encoded document,
you really want to use doc.dump.
Encoding has never worked correctly within the library. It only
functions properly when fed UTF-8 as I have had to employ Iconv for
anything else.
