Take a look at: <http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/Overview.html#declaring>
<cite>
* An in-document encoding allows the document to be read correctly when not on a server. This applies not only to static documents read from disk or CD, but also dynamic documents that are saved by the reader.
* An in-document declaration of this kind helps developers, testers, or translation production managers who want to perform a visual check of a document.

When using a xml-declaration, the encoding should go there, and not in a <meta>-tag.
