can you share the xml that is produced by the ruby client?

i'm guessing that ruby produces a document with xml declaration, and
suds omits the xml declaration. so lxml tries to apply the encoding in
the xml declaration, but refuses to re-decode an already-decoded xml string.

if that's the case, it's a bug.
