Only in absence of higher-level protocol information, you have to
declare the character encoding in the XML declaration if else than
UTF-8 or UTF-16, UTF-16 encoded documents require a byte order mark
but no encoding declaration. Murata-san knows quite well about these
rules.

Mozilla complains about the byte order mark as invalid character, Opera
and IE deal just fine with the document, as they should.

I guess you refer to the xml-stylesheet processing instruction, the xml
declaration is no processing instruction, even if it looks like one.
