OK! I've finally gotten this thing working in Cocoon 2.0.3!!! Thanks for your assistance (and patience) Vadim.
So now I can have a document with XML Decln: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="MacRoman"?> and Cocoon will now read it, and interpret the characters properly. I modified the Avalon Excalibur JaxpParser.java from April 2002 (v1.1 in CVS) and it overrides the JaxpParser.class in avalon-excalibur-vm12-20020705.jar which ships with Cocoon 2.0.3. Here is a diff... note there are some debug lines that need removing, and perhaps it should leave allow-java-encodings as "false" by default, not sure... anyway, here it is. Perhaps this change could be incorporated into Excalibur for the benefit of anyone else who wants to parse "weird" character encodings???
