[Exist-open] Serializer default encoding

[Fredrik V. <fr...@vr...>]

Hi,

I just spent a couple of hours chasing down a string encoding bug in
my application that turned out to be caused by

org/exist/storage/serializers/Serializer.java

using ISO-8859-1 as default encoding when doing
XMLResource.getContent()

A quick grep of the sources seems to indicate that (most of) the rest
of eXist defaults to UTF-8, which also makes more sense I think as it
can then encode all Java Unicode strings...  So, should Serializer be
changed to also use UTF-8 as the default encoding?
