Perhaps somebody out there will know of one or more libraries that actually do provide such support or interface; and if so, I would be interested in hearing about it. But even if such occurs, this would not change the reality that the overwhelming majority of applications and libraries consider the XML prolog to be authoritative.

I didn't think I'd run into it as a problem before...

So the question is, do we work from the status quo (ignore the MIME type, look at the XML data alone) or the specs?

The spec (which I need to re-read) does refer to the MIME type as being authoritative, but I wonder if anyone noticed a clause by which it could by default be overridden by the encoding stated in the XML itself? The XML spec seems to hint in that direction.

Cheers,
Danny.
