Is this correct or am I way off the mark? XML in principle can support any encoding whatever, as long as it's properly labeled, including the one I made up last February. In practice, though, you can read the encoding declaration if you are capable of interpreting ASCII and basic EBCDIC and if you know enough to skip over 0x00 bytes.
