Wrong. It can also be UCS-4, UCS-2, or EBCDIC.
I stand corrected. The first line is guaranteed to start with "<?xml", so what a program needs to do is read the first 5 bytes and then figure out which of the "other encodings" yields that string. Would PG ever consider using one of these "other encodings" or is this discussion just academic?
