http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#normative

says

>An XML declaration is not required in all XML documents;
however XHTML document authors are strongly encouraged to
use XML declarations in all their documents. Such a
declaration is required when the character encoding of the
document is other than the default UTF-8 or UTF-16 and no
encoding was determined by a higher-level protocol. Here
is an example of an XHTML document. In this example, the
XML declaration is included.

And your DOWNLOAD.html.en about.html.en, ... include XML
declarations.
