Just for the sake of the argument :-) I just looked this up in some of my references and they state that an xml-file without encoding attribute is utf-8 or utf-16 (depending on the byte order mark). Which to me means that xml-editors that assume something else are not conforming to the xml-standards. Or am I missing something? -- Ferdinand Soethe
