Please consider adding some elements to the document itself that describe the desired output format, such as: ... <output> <encoding>utf-8</encoding> </output> ... This allows the client to specify the encoding it wants to receive the document in, even if it's different than the encoding it used to make the first document. More flexibility. Less fooling around. --Irmen -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
