The writer wasn't utf-8 capable at the time of writing TXMLConfig. Even 
if you add utf-8 methods to TXMLConfig, certain conversions will stay 
because underlying DOM is WideString-based.
After adding utf-8 to the writer, I've chosen to write a new 
unicode-enabled config class instead of modifying the old one and risk 
breaking the existing code. The new component is in the xmlconf unit, 
and it takes WideString arguments.
