Everything should be converted to UTF-8.  If I have understood the
XML::Twig documentation correctly, when you read an XML file via
XML::Twig you get UTF-8 even if the XML uses some other encoding,
as XML::Twig does the conversion automatically.  So you only really
need to worry about converting the text fields to UTF-8.

I can think of situations where there would be a reason for sending
text fields in more than one encoding, but they are a bit unlikely.
But the browser has no control over the contents of the uploaded
file, so that may well be in a different encoding.
