Why is that needed?
Per http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#sec-prolog-dtd, the encoding attribute 
is optional.

http://www.w3.org/TR/xml11/#NT-EncodingDecl also says:
"[...] it is also a fatal error if an XML entity contains no encoding 
declaration and its content is not legal UTF-8 or UTF-16."
Hence, UTF-8 xml files should not need an encoding declaration.
