+
+      <p>With the introdcution of the configurable memory manager, we didn't want to break users by
+         changing the signature of the method. Also, we did not want to provide a default memory
+         manager as it would introduce a side effect with users experiencing some strange core dumps.
+         The latter will occur when the scope of the string allocated is beyond that of
+         XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate (i.e. a string is allocated using the default memory manager
+         which is deleted when XMLPlatformUtils::Terminate is called, but the allocated string is
+         deleted later). We plan to deprecate the transcode method with no parameters in later releases.
