Hardly.  Except for some feedback from the encoding declaration, which
can be handled by a sniffer, charset decoding is a completely separate
layer from parsing in XML.  The differences between BER, PER, and XER
parsing are so profound as to cause the three parsers to have essentially
nothing in common.

When using XER, is one constrained to a specific encoding?

Also, I'm curious about which encoding-rules transformations one can
perform without knowledge of the schema:

BER to PER?
XER to PER?
BER to XER?
XER to BER?
