Ok, fair enough.

Note that http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc3023.txt says the charset
should be present for application/xml [1], so if we have servlets or
scripts that generate XML they should call
response.setCharacterEncoding(...).

[1] "Although listed as an optional parameter, the use of the charset
parameter is STRONGLY RECOMMENDED, since this information can be
used by XML processors to determine authoritatively the charset of
the XML MIME entity.  The charset parameter can also be used to
provide protocol-specific operations, such as charset-based
content negotiation in HTTP."
