There is probably an encoding which maps bytes 0-255 directly into Unicode 0-255. I don't know what it would be called offhand. And it might not be what you actually want. And of course some Unicode characters are flat-out illegal in XML 1.0 (though there's a proposal to extend XML in the future to remove that restriction).
When creating an XML file it's your responsiblity to either pick an encoding that matches the content, or to author the content to match the encoding. If you don't do one or the other, it may not be an XML file. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
