(Caution: the default encoding used for output is ASCII, which isn't
very useful for general XML work, raising an exception if there are
any characters with values greater than 127. You should always
specify a different encoding such as UTF-8 that can handle any Unicode
character.)
(Caution: the default encoding used for output is ASCII. For general
XML work, where an element's name may contain arbitrary Unicode
characters, ASCII isn't a very useful encoding because it will raise
an exception if an element's name contains any characters with values
greater than 127. Therefore, it's best to specify a different
encoding such as UTF-8 that can handle any Unicode character.)
