We are working on a site which will require a large amount of work with
forms.
Where can I find more information about XMLForm?

You can quick'n'dirty hack it by adding after line 166 the line:

format.setEncoding("ISO-8859-1"); // or whatever encoding you want

Yes, but that is a bit more complex to implement. You can get the
current encoding by adding these two lines after line 89:

InputSource inpSrc = new InputSource(filename);
String encoding = inpSrc.getEncoding();

Then you can later write format.setEncoding(encoding);

This works, but you must be aware of two special cases:

a) in the case of type="html" what encoding do we write? (currently:
none)
b) what encoding do we assume if there is none specified?

So, all in all, it was getting a little too hairy for me. I'll just
hard-code ISO-8859-1, because my XMLForm application doesn't need
anything else.
