The identity element at the top of all XML files should specify an encoding of "ISO-8859-1" for completeness. If no encoding is given, ISO-8859-1 is assumed. An example is given below:

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

NOTE! There is an unofficial XML encoding named "Windows-1252" that properly reflects the Windows ANSI character set and is often used. However, various XML parsers do not recognize this encoding set due to its unofficial nature. In the interest of maximum compatibility, the modified Latin-1 set is used instead.
