Options

The following options are available:
--encoding=charset
Where charset is the character set to use when you are creating the output file.
--locale=language
Where language specifies the language to use when you are creating the output file. This string consists of the ISO-639 two-letter lowercase language code, optionally followed by and underscores and the ISO-3166 uppercase two-letter country code.
--schemaVersion=1.1
If this option is specified, then both explicitly named child elements and the xsd:any element are written to the output file.

If this option is specified, only the xsd:any element is used in the output file, so that unknown elements pass XSD validation at the expense of losing validation for known elements.
