XML Newbie question. The XML file being created is UTF-8 encoded. Does it make any difference if the data is stored in SQL Server as varchar or nvarchar?

You are already advised by the MS SQL manuals to use nvarchar anyway, so why not use it for all your data, and never worry about the xml , or whatever file-format, export?
