Kate, this sounds like a question for the particular XML processing 
library you are using rather than for www-dom, where discussions for 
DOM-related specifications are had.

(Note that only serialisations of documents have an encoding.  If you 
have a Document and you want to serialise it using UTF-8, you'll need to 
indicate that to your serialiser somehow.)
