Ah. I think I might not have explained myself properly. I'm concerned with
the
parsing of the document, not with the subsequent output.

I'm feeding the document in through the push parser in large chunks, but as
libxml gets to the encoding declaration, it suddenly switches encoding on me
and starts reporting errors that the UTF-8 chars I'm giving it don't match
the
ISO-8859-1 (for example) encoding the document says it's in, and used to
be in before I got to it. Subsequently, the errors from the libxml encoder
causes
the parse to fail.

By your answers, I think you might have assumed that I was trying to save
the
document out in a different encoding, unless I have misunderstood you?

Thanks again,
Richard
