Re: xml-commons related bug: [Bug 2291] New: - Reading "META-INF/services/" shouldNOT assume default character encoding is UTF-8

Please see my note that I added to bugzilla on this issue.  It's not
clear that this is a desirable change as is since it could break
existing implementations.

Yeah, I just read your comment.  I don't know what the right answer is. 
I'll have to read up on the thread that Gary mentioned.  In any case, we
are freezing the code now for a version 1.1.1 of the JAXP RI so a fix
will probably not make it until after this release.

Yup, Costin and I work in the same group on the same product as a matter
of fact.
