As you're no doubt aware, XML is used in lots of other context than Java; so it 
isn't surprising that plugging a Java encoding name into an XML document's 
encoding declaration will get you an error--even with a Java parser.  

In xerces, we try and encourage document authors to use the IANA aliases for 
various encodings, since IANA is a language-independent standard.  If you 
use "WINDOWS-1250" instead of "Cp1250", your document should validate correctly.

If you really must use the names Java likes to use for encodings, then set the 
http://apache.org/xml/features/allow-java-encodings feature to true.
