The first two characters of the XML format, "<?", the less-than sign and 
question-mark, define the data format for further communication.
* The data is first read byte by byte. The first two bytes are read and 
kept in network order, then they are converted to a 16bit value in same 
network order. That value is then tested to see if it equals ASCII codes 
for '<' and '?' or '?' and '> in those two orders as a 16 bit value.
** If the either of those tests are true, then the data format is 
defined as UTF8 for further communication.
* If either test false, then then the 16 bit value is test to see if it 
equals the UTF16 value for '<' or '?'.
** If the UTF16 value is true, then the communication is defined in 
UTF16 in network order.
** If false, the bytes are swapped and tested for a UTF16 '<' character
*** If true, then the communication is defined in UTF16 in opposite of 
network order (hence, network order is already defined per platform 
implementation of endianess)
* If neither of these are true, then UTF32 could be tested if desired.

This is only needed to be done once per initial connection. Again, that 
sequence does exactly as you expected, which is to define the data format.

You continue to say:

* not as a network data transfer format.

After a successful open tag, it is a pure dedicate network stream as, 
again, expected.

You haven't shown it to do anything more or less than expected, and that 
is true with the interface and implemention kept distinct from each other.

You also say:
* I think you should read these

What specifically do you want me to know? I started to read it and it 
quickly went into a wide range of arguments of why people go there to 
read it. Can you state your thesis?
