From an XML point-of-view, the following represents examples of how three different applications, Internet Explorer, XMetaL Author, and Arbortext Editor, react to and handle XML files that are encoded in different ways.
The following scenarios are discussed:
- ISO-8859-1 Encoding with no XML declaration
- UTF-8 Encoding with no XML declaration
