Perfect, thanks – that did the trick.  I knew there must be some simple 
solution -- I was overthinking it.

Subject: Re: [MarkLogic Dev General] Any easy way to set xml version and 
encoding?

It should work if you make it a string literal.
let $rss:= (
  '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>',
  <rss version="2.0" xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/"; 
xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/"; 
xmlns:content="http://purl.org/rss/1.0/modules/content/"; 
xmlns:atom="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom"; 
xmlns:sailthru="http://www.sailthru.com/rss-extension";>
    <channel>
      <title>Some Title</title>
      <description>Some Description</description>
      <atom:link href="URL" rel="self" type="application/rss+xml" />
      STUFF
    </channel>
  </rss>
)

return (
  $rss
)

I have a query the returns an RSS output implementation with some custom nodes.

I need to insert <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> ahead of the <rss 
version..> declaration.

I found this article from 2009 but wanted to check if there was another way or 
newer simpler approach I could do directly in the xQuery.  Any ideas?
