Description

IIRC XML standard says that default encoding is UTF-8 for xml files

That can be overriden with
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

But files without header saved as UTF8 are not parsed in some systems (eg windows, solaris), while files saved as other encoding (I believe it was ansi) break under a Mac mini with yellowdog linux
