Hello,

Since version 1.4.1 of xerces-J, the parser has returned the error "The
encoding 'ISO-8859-1' is not supported" for xml declarations of the form

        <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" standalone="no"?>

Can someone explain why this encoding is not supported? I understand that
XML processors are only required to support UTF-8 and UTF-16 encodings, but
ISO-8859-1 is a common 8-bit character set.

Is an alternative single-byte character set supported by xerces-J? For
example, what are others doing to handle ANSI encoded files?

I would search the archives for hints on this, as I suspect it has been
widely discussed, but I am told that the archives are unreachable due to a
disk problem.

Thanks for you help,
Doug Brower
