sax parser ignores encoding="UTF-8" if the standalone attribute is also present about ox

Thanks for finding the bug. I found the problem but may take a day or two to fix it.

Okay, maybe sooner than a day or two. Release 1.6.6 just pushed with the fix.

fixed, thanks

One more thing I noticed, if the orginal string has a real encoding (ascii, utf-8) as opposed to no encoding (ascii-8bit) and there is no xml declaration (with encoding), the parser yields ascii-8bit nodes.

ascii-8bit results are pretty useless, you need to know how to interpret them, since that info is available in the source (whatever is coming out of the io), I think it makes sense to preserve its encoding. ascii-8bit should be yielded only from ascii-8bit origin with no xml encoding declaration.

There is a default encoding setting that will be used if none is specified. That is set in the default options. I could make the input string encoding be used if no default option is set and no encoding is specified in the xml. That seems reasonable. Look for it in the next release.

Release 1.6.7 make the default the input string encoding if no default option encoding is set or the encoding is not specified in the XML prolog.
