A definitive resolution would need to come from the working group. My take on it is that serializer.writeToString(nodeArg) should be equivalent to: LSOutput output = domImplLS.createLSOutput(); output.characterStream = new StringWriter(); serializer.write(nodeArg, output); And that that should be equivalent to: LSOutput output = domImplLS.createLSOutput(); output.byteStream = new ByteArrayOutputStream(); serializer.write(nodeArg, output); And then reading the byteStream with an InputStreamReader with the appropriate encoding. If these equivalences were followed then Document.inputEncoding or Document.xmlEncoding would control the encoding declaration. So if the source document had <?xml encoding="US-ASCII"?> then the string from writeToString would contain "<?xml encoding="US-ASCII"?>" and all non-US-ASCII characters would be represented by character entities.
