Scratching my head a little, I see no good reason not to allow it. In
fact, I think it would be a very good idea if we can work around some
of the few kinks.

It would make some amount of broken content that is accepted by some
implementations conformant. Based on my prior investigations into this
(admittedly outdated by now) this wouldn't break anything.

If the XML declaration doesn't set the encoding for (X)HTML served as
text/html, it certainly shouldn't for SVG. The same processing rules
should apply, based on the media type. That, of course, would be
entirely different in XSVG.
