That'd be true of any XML parser in Java ... however, one
can always write the java.lang.String (or character array)
data into an appropriate OutputStreamWriter:

	Writer out = new OutputStreamWriter (
			System.out,
			"8859_2");

Most Java Virtual Machines don't accept the "ISO-8859-2" encoding
name, but they should accept "8859_2" instead (sigh).

p.s. That doesn't mean that there aren't other reasons to avoid
     using the MSXML parser; it's not very conformant.
