I decided not to call startDocument/endDocument-pair when BOM or XML
declaration or setting forced encoding fails. Reason for this was I wanted
document's actual encoding to be known at the startDocument stage (as there
isn't necessarily xml declaration present of course). Then again I'm
talking about my SAX C library Parsifal which is far away from "official"
SAX java implementations.
