[JDEV] character encoding in jabber protocol

[Andreas Ames]

Hi all,

I was under the impression, that jabber requires the use of utf-8
encoding (on the wire) but can't seem to find any reference to that
(not even in the rfc).  Furthermore I found in the 1.4.2 source that
expat is instantiated with XML_CreateParser(*NULL*) instead of "UTF-8"
as I expected.  Are there other encodings than utf-8 allowed?


TIA,

andreas
