I agree - It seems unecessary to force the processor to ignore the omit-meta-declaration attribute when the output encoding is ascii. Any future processing of the xml produced will have no problem reading the ascii using the default utf-8 encoding. I generate XHTML that forms part of a web page put together using JSP. I use the ascii output method to ensure any character references are carried through to the output unchanged, which ensures that throughout the process I only deal with single byte characters (limiting encoding issues). This leaves the xml declaration somewhere in the generated (x)html page, which requires text processing out. cheers andrew
