I wasn't thinking it would be that general; determining the encoding
for an arbitrary text file is a larger problem than it is for an XML
file.
An implementation based strictly on the rules from the XML
specification should be in the xml package (somewhere). Determining
that the file is an XML file is separate.
I doubt this really makes sense in os.path.
