+ When <literal>marcxml</literal> is used, yazproxy assumes
+ that records retrieved from the backend are encoded in the
+ <ulink url="&url.marc8;">MARC-8</ulink> character set.
+ This is correct for most MARC21 based systems, but not for
+ other MARC variants or UTF-8 based MARC21 systems.
+ The <literal>backendcharset</literal> attribute specifies
+ the character set of the MARC records to be converted.
