But that doesn't provide me dynamic switching between character sets
based on user preferences.  Based on HTTP_ACCEPT_CHARSET we can choose
to use iso-8859-1 or utf8, plus we need to force Japanese to use
x-euc-jp on certain platforms, sjis on others.

Tell us, how do you do the character set conversion behind the scenes
for various data sources?  Do you just leave everything to
XML::Parser?  What about DB sources?  What about data on disk?  Can
you switch this on the fly for various browser condition?

Inquiring minds want to know.

thanks.
