According to the XML spec, a doc with a wrong encoding declaration, but 
accompanied by a correct charset from a higher-level protocol, is 
well-formed.  It needs to be fixed up if saved locally.  IMHO clients 
SHOULD fix it and 3023bis should say so.

There are legitimate use cases for this.  I don't think a nonwell-formed 
document sitting on a server is, but a doc transcoded on the fly is one.
