Posted the solution, a external command helper to http://
www.bighead.net/tools/
It is called witango_xml_cleaner.
Let me if it works for you.

Hi Robert,
Good work - I'm following this with interest as you seem to be doing
something similar to myself. For Point 1, yeah I could set the
encoding
using the @DOM, but it seems to be ignored.
Would it be possible to use some other XML parser other than
Witango to
do this? Maybe that has a COM interface that can be used through
Witango. I haven't had need to do this but maybe is an option? What
are
you planning to do with the external command tool and the XML document
so Witango can parse it correctly?
Mike.

Subject: Re: Witango-Talk: support for @DOM encoding
Updates to this thread after more testing:
1. When adding xml to a dom like so: <@assign local$mydom <@dom
value='<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><xml />'>>
Witango does not complain about the declaration, however, it does
ignore, and just assumes ISO-8859-1 encoding. This also applies to
using the <@include file> method.
However, if you do an insert of xml with a declaration, like from a
file, it will complain, and thrown an error. So if you use
<@dominsert> and I assume <@domreplace>, the xml you insert, must not
have a declaration, it must be stripped, and again, ISO-8859-1
encoding is assumed.
2. I have a project we are just finishing, that accepts xml that was
generated from ASP .NET, and is UTF-8 encoded. I don't have control
at this point to say, please encode as ISO-8859-1 so witango will
interpret correctly. I just tested this app with some special
characters, german and spanish, and witango messed them up, as
expected.
So I am writing a helper (external command) for witango that will
solve this problem, because I have to present this solution on
Thursday.
