In "8.13.2. Encoding Handling"
  <para>   When using binary mode to pass query parameters to the server   and query results back to the client, no
characterset conversion   is performed, so the situation is different.  In this case, an   encoding declaration in the
XMLdata will be observed, and if it   is absent, the data will be assumed to be in UTF-8 (as required by   the XML
standard;note that PostgreSQL does not support UTF-16).   On output, data will have an encoding declaration
specifyingthe client encoding, unless the client encoding is   UTF-8, in which case it will be omitted.  </para>
 

In the first sentence shouldn't "no character set conversion" be "no
encoding conversion"? PostgreSQL is doing client/server encoding
conversion, rather than character set conversion.

Best regards,
