Bug description:  Missing useful encoding information for XMLReader/libxml

Description:
------------
There is no reference in the XMLReader or libxml documentation to the 
fact that libxml uses UTF-8 as its internal character set, in all cases 
(as per http://www.xmlsoft.org/encoding.html#internal).

As such, the output from any XMLReader function or property will always 
be in UTF-8, regardless of the input encoding specified.

Anyone unfamiliar with libxml may assume that the encoding parameter 
passed to XMLReader::open() would cause the output to be in the same 
encoding, which is not the case for any encoding except UTF-8.
