Note, if the XML is anything other than UTF-8 or UTF-16, the encoding should
be present:
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-guessing
Because each XML entity not in UTF-8 or UTF-16 format must begin
with an
XML encoding declaration, in which the first characters must be
'<?xml', any
conforming processor can detect, after two to four octets of input,
which of the
following cases apply.
