This is what I was going to say too, but also note you should only use
unicode encodings (like the default, UTF-8) if you do this, as the
encoding declaration goes in the XML prologue as well, and libxml2
will happily omit it if instructed - even in cases where it's required
for a well-formed document.

There's some example code using XML_SAVE_NO_DECL in the message I sent
to the list just before this one.
