This specifies the encoding to be used when conducting the specific
operation. Internally, libxml2 uses UTF-8, so use of other encodings
requires conversion. For example, xmlNodeDumpOutput[1] can dump a node
into a buffer in another encoding by specifying other than UTF-8 with
the encoding variable.
