how to specify Encoding

Hi,
       I am using PullParser2_1_8_SMALL.jar, XPP3/MXP1
implementation.
	if I want to pass InputStream to the parser's parse
method, do I need to set the encoding of InputStream,
equals to the attribute encoding="xyz", the xml file
has? Or the parser takes care of this encoding and the
InputStream need not bother about it?
	Basically my requirement is, I want to parse xml
file, whose encoding I do not know, using parse
method, which takes InputStream.
	Is the file's encoding (i.e. the one in which the
file is saved) and the attribute, encoding="xyz" must
be same. My question is, if the parser takes care of
the encoding, how does it make sense from InputStream
and fetch the encoding, because even to parse the
first line having encoding attribute, it has to know
the encoding of InputStream?

Thanks,
    Nikhil
