Oh no ! I've been hit again :-(
Now, encoding="utf-8" according to the standard is the same as
encoding="UTF-8" and is the same as an asciish file without an encoding
declaration. But, if I set encoding="utf-8", now xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant
will think it's *not* UTF-8, and will encode the entities, making the result
(when I read it back) look like UTF-8 text shown on a latin1 console.

<begging>could libxml1 1.8.++MICRO be changed so that if doc->encoding is
present, even if xmlStrEqual(doc->encoding,"UTF-8"), that encoding spec is
written out ? Or, keep the xmlStrEqual test in xmlDocContentDump() as an
xmlStrEqual, and make the test on doc->encoding in
xmlEncodeEntitiesReentrant() a xmlStricmp() (actually, the latter is
probably better)</begging>

TIA.
