Re: ISO-8859-1 encoding and XmlDecl omision (was Re: [xsl] Looking up keys in a separate xml file)

is invalid. ISO-8859-1 is a subset of UTF-8 and should cause no problems since most parsers default to UTF-8 if the XML declaration is ommited. All parsers default to utf8 in the absence of a declaration and byte-order mark, that is specified by the XMl rec. However ISO-8859-1 is not a subset of utf8, the first 127 (ASCII) slots are the same but the upper half of latin 1 is encoded in ISO-8859-1 as single bytes, which will cause fatal errors if interpretted as utf8, where those characters require two bytes in the encoding. I believe the only constraint when using the XML output method is that the result must be a general parsed entity. yes, but a general parsed entity in ISO-8859-1 encoding must have an encoding declaration to be well formed. XSLT does not distinguish between an xml declaration and a text declaration, the only difference is the standalone attribute anyway).
