The xml spec is fairly clear on that: Every XML parser has to accept utf8 and utf16. The use of any other encoding might be met with a fatal error. A parser may have some method of loading encoding descriptions or it may not, it's all system dependent. Moral of the story: use UTF8/16 if you want your file to be maximally portable.
