As per XML spec, if no encoding is declared, UTF-8 is assumed (AFAIK expat follows this). Check if your data is valid UTF-8. Expat accepts only UTF-8, UTF-16, iso-8859-1 and ascii data, but without encoding declaration treats everything as UTF-8. -- Jarek Zgoda http://jpa.berlios.de/ _______________________________________________ XML-SIG maillist - XML-SIG@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/xml-sig
