huh?..even on the file system a pt file is encoded using some encoding. For an XML pagetemplate file the encoding is clearly defined through the BOM (if available) and/or the XML preamble.

Problem here if the various encoding notifications collide (XML header vs. XHTML meta-tag vs. BOM) so better have as few as possible - even better none when
I am only talking of XML. And the encoding is clearly and unambiguously defined through the BOM (if available) and the XML preamble. So any application reading an XML file is able to detect the encoding and produce a unicode string from the file. According to a discussion with Dieter the Python XML parsers don't deal with the BOM and leave it up to the application to interpret the BOM correctly.
