[Polyglot] Encoding Declaration State

The Encoding declaration state (http-equiv="content-type") section of HTML5 says this [1]:

]]
The Encoding declaration state may be used in HTML documents, but elements with an http-equiv attribute in that state must not be used in XML documents.
[[

Is it correct that it must not be used in XML, and should that ban on the Encoding declaration state therefore be added to the Character Encoding section in the polyglot spec? [2]

Thanks,

Eliot
