You can't. By the time the XML parser has done its work, the original
encoding of the file is of no further interest, since all the characters are
now in Unicode.

When you say Unicode, does that equate to UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 or something else? Or does the answer depend upon the XML parser you are using, which in my case is MSXML3.0?
