Note that the MS IE XML parser does NOT support many encodings. Plus,
it supports some that are Windows-specific.
XML processors are required to support UTF-8 and UTF-16, but beyond
that,
they are not required to understand any encoding name. So, technically,
Microsoft doesn't HAVE to recognize "US-ASCII" as an encoding name.
For maximum portability of your XML data, use UTF-8 or UTF-16.
