No. XmlTextReader autodetects its xml declaration. Explicit parameter 
is not required. And of course, it is specific to XML stuff.

Below is the very simple case I could read Shift_JIS document on MS.NET:

-------
  string s;
  FileStream fs = new FileStream ("sjis.xml", FileMode.Open);
  XmlTextReader xtr = new XmlTextReader (fs);
  while (xtr.Read ())
    s = xtr.Name;
