It seems that there are both XML parsers that mess up stuff when utf-8 is *not*
specified, and those that mess up stuff when it *is* specified (which was
probably why I was asked to remove it in the first place). If that is the case,
there's not really anything we can do to appease both compliant and
non-compliant parsers, like we could with the xml:space="preserve" issue.
