don't ask me about databases:-)

But I'd say that while the data is in the database store it in whatever
encoding the database wants, but while the data is living in an XML view
then make it as portable as possible.

But if the document's really in a closed world of your client and you're
only using XML to make use of the available tools rather than to make
the XML document available generally then clearly do whatever works: if
the input and the output need to be in a microsoft specific encoding,
and your XML parser understands that encoding then clearly it makes
sense to keep within that world.
