Re: xml type and encodings

Client encoding is A, server encoding is B.  Client sends an xml datum
that looks like this:

INSERT INTO table VALUES (xmlparse(document '<?xml version="1.0"
encoding="C"?><content>...</content>'));

Assuming that A, B, and C are all distinct, this could fail at a number
of places.

I suggest that we make the system ignore all encoding declarations in
xml data.  That is, in the above example, the string would actually
have to be encoded in client encoding B on the client, would be
converted to A on the server and stored as such.  As far as I can tell,
this is easily implemented and allowed by the XML standard.
