The encoding on the TextWriter determines the encoding that is written out (The encoding of the XmlDeclaration node is replaced by the encoding of the TextWriter). If there was no encoding specified on the TextWriter, the XmlDocument is saved without an encoding attribute.

This method is a Microsoft extension to the Document Object Model (DOM).

Note that only the XmlDocument.Save(string) method enforces a well-formed XML document. All other Save overloads only guarantee a well-formed fragment.
