RE: [xsl] Reading the XML declaration using XSL

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The XML declaration isn't part of the data model that the XSLT processor
sees. Its only purpose is to tell the XML parser how to construct the data
model. By the time a document has been parsed its original encoding is of no
further interest.
