The Point I wanted to make was that the document encoding is independent from the allowed charset (except having to be a subset). That is what XML entities were defined for. So even in an document using LATIN-1 as encoding, the charset still is Unicode, giving us the possibility to use &entities; to use non-latin1 characters.
