Well, I'm not speaking about my software :-) Actually it's Gnucash which
complains if the tag is not explicitly set. This is because they
appearently had a ancient version which did not specify the charset, but
used a different one than UTF-8. Kind of annoying, but fixing my XML
output seems to be easier than convincing the Gnucash people to change
their software :-)
Kind regards,
