No. By default it assumes (on Unix) binary input. You are reading and
writing a stream of bytes, not a stream of characters.

or assume UTF-8, for input but not output?

No. The XML parser gets the encoding from the XML file. If the XML file
doesn't explicitely specify an encoding, it must be UTF-8. This is
completely independent of the locale. XML files are supposed to be
portable and must not be interpreted differently depending on the
locale.

Oh of course! I got so caught in up in this business of setting
encodings that I forgot about the encoding specified explicitly in the
XML file.
