RE: utf-16 encoding

For now my solution's been (in case I do not really need to specify an
encoding) to completely suppress the generation of the xml declaration:

<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>

Dimitre.

MSXML's DOM (ab)uses a Processing Instruction node holding the XML

the "save" method (you can even use that to modify the initial value
read
during "read").

However, serializing to a string using the "xml" method *always* give
you an
UTF-16 encoded string, as it is a 16 bit DCOM BSTR. Vice versa,
"loadXML"
*only* takes a UTF-16 encoded string, and will generate an error when
an XML
declaration with encoding != UTF-16 is present.
