What's m17n?  That's a new one... hm... thanx google,
"multilingualization".

Yes.

I knew that, sort of.  What I didn't know was that the native Unicode
support of GNU Emacs 21, still used Mule.

In any case: on Friday, in GNU Emacs 20.7 with mule-ucs, I did `C-x
RET f utf-8 RET' in a PSGML buffer, typed the letter "æ", and then
`C-x C-s', and the file saved as an UTF-8 file.

Do you have any idea about how to trigger this coding system
automatically, based on the encoding pseudo attribute in the <?xml?>
PI? 

I know it can be done by setting the file variable "coding", but
I'd rather avoid that, since the neccessary information's already
present in the file.
