I'm currently learning XML and HTML from this wonderful site <!-- w --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.w3schools.com">www.w3schools.com</a><!-- w -->
I got this string of code from the tutorial in the site and there are some parts which i dont understand which werent explained inside the tutorial

1. what is the <nitf> tag?
2. why does the body tag has a <body.head> .head with it?
3. do i always have to start the code with <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>? must it b always version 1.0 and ISO-8859-1? if not what are the other choices?

Thanks guys!

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<nitf>
<head>
<title>Colombia Earthquake</title>
</head>
<body>
