Henry Zongaro commented on XALANC-597:
--------------------------------------

If I'm reading correctly, the text you've quoted from 
http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#charencoding is not a well-formedness constraint, 
which would mean that an external general parsed entity whose encoding is other 
than UTF-8 and UTF-16 can still be considered to be well-formed even if it has 
no text declaration, regardless of whether external encoding information is 
available to the XML processor for a particular reference to the entity.

> Serializers for encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 should not omit the XML 
> declaration

> Our new serializer for encodings other than UTF-8 and UTF-16 will omit the 
> XML declaration if the xsl:output element attribute omit-xml-declaration is 
> equal to "yes."  This is contrary to what the XSLT recommendation states, as 
> it can create XML that is not well-formed.
