I'm not sure what you're saying. The "encoding" parameter is about the character set encoding of the XML output file; it has little or nothing to do with the input data, which in my case is all unicode strings. Clearly, with XML, one can use ASCII, for instance, as a character set encoding. Why not make this parameter work?
