Why?

What can the XML Declaration specify?

1. The version of XML, by default 1.0. If it's not 1.0 you *must*
output an XML declaration, serialization parameters be damned.

2. The encoding. If the encoding isn't UTF8/16, you *must* output
an XML declaration, serialization paramters be damned.

3. A standalone declaration. I don't think I've ever seen this used
effectively. I'm not even sure it has an effective use.

I don't feel strongly about it, but if we decide that it shouldn't be
false, I think it should be implementation defined.

                                        Be seeing you,
