Probably yes, but you can do this without actually constructing a tree
representation of the document. You should be able to do it with a simple
JAXP identity transformation:

Transformer t = TransformerFactory.newTransformer();
t.setOutputProperty(OutputKeys.ENCODING, "iso-8859-1");
t.transform(new StreamSource(inputfile), new StreamResult(outputfile));

(The Saxon implementation of this won't build a tree. I can't speak for the
Xalan implementation.)
