CDATA with different encoding

Hi,

I've searched the archives with CDATA and Encoding but nothing resulted
so here's my post, maybe trivial, really sorry...

We're receiving xml from a supplier encoded in ISO-8859-1 as specified
also by the direvtive:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

but the tags body are encoded in UTF-8.

This would cause the parser to fail:

http://www.w3schools.com/xmL/xml_encoding.asp

So the supplier has surrounded the tag bodies with CDATA. 

<tag>[CDATA[ ...utf-8 ... ]]</tag>

Is this correct? I.e. is it possible to have a differnt encoding inside
a CDATA section from that of the xml?

I've googled a bit but havent found a clear response

We've built a parser with xmlbean last stable version, but the parser
complain about characters inside the tags that are UTF-8, but are
illegal in ISO-8859-1.

com.siap.DPKWebServices.Util.OTA_literal_HttpPost.queryHttp caught an
exception: 29047814 org.apache.xmlbeans.XmlException

Many thanks

Best regards...
