XML parser that generates parser events in the document's charset

Does anyone know of an XML parser that generates parser events in the
document's charset instead of transcoding to Unicode/UTF8? It would be more
interesting if the parser supported Latin1 and some Asian multibyte
encodings.

I'm doing some experiments with an XSL engine that tries to avoid doing a
transcode from document charset to Unicode and back when the input output
and output charsets for the XML/XSL transform match. Since most text nodes
in XSL are just copied I want to leave them in their native charset. If XSL
did anything complicated to them they would be converted to Unicode
on-demand.
