I think 1139 makes sense and we should still aim to find a solution for it. The way we have solved it is by using getMarkupSettings().setStripXmlDeclarationFromOutput(true) which removes the xml declaration from the output (and by using the xhtml doctype in the base page). And we don't even need the meta tag since the html header contains the encoding as well. It seems to work fine for some inhouse utility apps which are used globally. Is changing the default setting to much of a change for now?
