Remarkably terse, but not very helpful. By 'where" I was meaning a
quoted section.

Are you asserting that the following instance, encoded in UTF-16

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<foo>Hello World</foo>

with this header

Content-Type: application/xml

gets treated as UTF-8? If not, what did you mean above? If so, why?
