i would like to use norwegian encoding, f.ex:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

But only in certain areas in the xml document...is this possible at all?

ISO-8859-1 covers most, if not all, Western European language characters.
Do you really need another encoding for the rest of your document?

If you do, you can use different encodings in different external parsed
entities. That will probably mean in practice different files, one for
each encoding, but you can incorporate these files into one document.

Alternatively, you could of course encode any character (including
Norwegian even!) in UTF8. Might be a bit fiddly initally, but once you
have got a system set up it will handle anything.
