I decided not to call startDocument/endDocument-pair when BOM or XML 
declaration or setting forced encoding fails. Reason for this was I wanted 
document's actual encoding to be known at the startDocument stage (as there 
isn't necessarily xml declaration present of course). Then again I'm 
talking about my SAX C library Parsifal which is far away from "official" 
SAX java implementations.
