Paul,
you have pricked my concience ;)
I really will do a proper job of guessing the encoding as suggested by the
W3C spec and then looking for the ecoding attribute in the XML declaration.
I'll start work on this at the weekend. We should also probably look for and
honor the HTTP Content-Type charset parameter. There was an excellent thread
on this issue on XML-DEV in Octobet last year (Look for "Text/xml with
omitted charset parameter" as a subject in the archive).
