Sorry. That's also a good point. Maybe the default for XML files shouldn't be utf-8 but `undefined' (i.e. the usual default which tries to auto-detect the encoding). It should still work well since utf-8 is among the first encodings for which we try auto-detection and it has a very good detector (very few non-utf-8 files are detected as utf-8). Again, please report this via M-x report-emacs-bug. Stefan
