XMLdom - saves only in UTF-8 :-(

Question

Here is a sample, wich generates XML:
declare
p xmlparser.parser;
doc xmldom.DOMDocument;
main_node xmldom.DOMNode;
root_node xmldom.DOMNode;
root_elmt xmldom.DOMElement;
item_node xmldom.DOMNode;
item_elmt xmldom.DOMElement;
item_text xmldom.DOMText;
begin
p := xmlparser.newparser;
doc := xmldom.newDOMDocument;
main_node := xmldom.makeNode(doc);
root_elmt := xmldom.createElement(doc, 'DOCUMENT');
root_node := xmldom.appendChild(main_node, xmldom.makeNode(root_elmt));
item_text := xmldom.createTextNode(doc, 'РУССКИЙ ТЕКСТ (CYRILLIC)');
item_node := xmldom.appendChild(root_node, xmldom.makeNode(item_text));
xmldom.setcharset(doc, 'Windows-1251');
xmldom.setVersion(doc, '1.0');
xmldom.writeToFile(doc , '/u/doc4.xml');
xmldom.freeDocument(doc);
end;
Results:
<?xml version = '1.0'?><DOCUMENT>╨б╨г╨а</DOCUMENT>
Without a suggestion to use given charset. For some reason the package saves always in UTF-8...
How force the package to generate XML in given charset? It's desirable to show encoding directly in <?xml encoding="..."?>

Hi Vlad!
I have the same problem, but I know that parsing a non UTF8 XML works fine.
So here is a workaround.
This works on Oracle8i Enterprise Edition Release 8.1.6.3.0
with XDK_PLSQL_9_2_0_5_0

p := xmlparser.newparser;
--doc := xmldom.newDOMDocument;
xmlparser.parsebuffer(p,'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1251"?><DOCUMENT/>');
doc := xmlparser.getdocument(p);
--xmldom.setcharset(doc, 'Windows-1251');
--xmldom.setVersion(doc, '1.0');
main_node := xmldom.makeNode(doc);
--root_elmt := xmldom.createElement(doc, 'proba');
--root_node := xmldom.appendChild(main_node, xmldom.makeNode(root_elmt));
root_node := xmldom.makenode(xmldom.getdocumentelement(doc));
item_text := xmldom.createTextNode(doc, 'YOUR TEXT HERE');
item_node := xmldom.appendChild(root_node, xmldom.makeNode(item_text));
xmldom.writeToFile(doc , '/u/doc4.xml');
xmldom.freeDocument(doc);
end;
