It is perfectly acceptable for some specific XML-based format to say they will only use UTF-8. It would not be acceptable to say, "in our application we accept any XML vocabulary, but only in UTF-8" because that would damage interoperability. But saying "our particulay format must always be in utf-8" is not hurting interoperability, and is OK. Hope this helps.
