  You're loosing a lot of speed there, as a lot of XML is served as
UTF-8 . But my main concern is that you will not be conformant that way
and I fear this is gonna break horribly:

   for example

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<très>là</très>

 in isolation is well formed. If delivered with an HTTP header indicating

Content-Type: application/xml;encoding=UTF-8

  then it's not well formed anymore and vice versa. The HTTP header
in XML overrides the encoding declaration in the instance, it's stupid
but it's that way.

As a result if you make the conversion and loose the encoding you will
get well formedness errors from the XML parser for resources which 
should be well formed because you decoupled encoding from parsing, and
that you can't do in XML. Please look about this, this will break
and no amount of testing from disk loading can ever show it.

  Okidoc :-)
I'm cleaning up  a number of bugs today, I will try an implementation
of the include/import loading extensions.
