It is difficult to verify what is happening.
My locale is set to
LANG=en_US.UTF-8
LC_CTYPE="en_US.UTF-8"
I tried the following:
>iconv -f ISO8859-1 -t UTF-8 testfile.xml > testfile-utf8.xml
>diff testfile.xml testfile-utf8.xml

I think I am going off topic a bit but I think this means that if the
file comes as ISO8859-1, I can set the xml encoding="ISO8859-1" and
the recipent can use iconv to convert the data back to UTF-8 when
they receive it.
Fingers crossed. Thanx for all the feedback.
