> Not always though. If the encoding is specified in the transport of the > XML, er yes I considerd posting a PS to add that, but thought it would come up soon enough:-), Leaving the encoding specified by the transport is a very dangerous practice though, it means you accept a well formed document from a server (well formed due to encoding speciifed in http header) save it to the file system, look at it again and lo! it is no longer well formed. If the processor ignored the omit-xml-declaration, then this would cause the xml stream to not be well-formed since the (duplicate) xml-declarations do not occur at the beginning of the stream. It has to either ignore the omit-xml-declaration, or ignore the requested encoding, and to output using an encoding that doesn't require a text declaration (utf8 or utf16) the safe way to combine the document fragments is, as you say, to treat them as general parsed entities and so include them into a master document via an entity reference. that way each fragment has its own encoding declaration, and possibly different encodings.
