The XML coding has to comply with the relevant bit of the XML 
specification.  Whether you read it "over the last four years" or not. 
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charencoding

Talking about the "original file format" could be misleading, bearing 
in mind that some HTTP servers are set up to transcode the 
internally-stored file format into one that's more appropriate for use 
on the web.  For XML-based markups, that may call for appropriate 
rewriting of the document's XML encoding specification.  And if you're 
using XHTML/1.0 Appendix C then the transcoded document would need to 
confirm to its constraints too.
