Yes, an XML parser should be able to use UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32, etc codecs to do the encoding. There's no need to create a magical mystery codec to pick out which though. So the code is good, if it is inside an XML parser, and it's bad if it is inside a codec?
Exactly so. This functionality just isn't a codec - there is no encoding. Instead, it is an algorithm for detecting an encoding.
Regards, Martin
