http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-TextDecl says
   "External parsed entities SHOULD each begin with a text declaration."
so it says "should" and it says "text declaration", not "XML 
declaration". That way it is possible to not have a text declaration as 
long as the encoding is UTF-8 or UTF-16 and the version is 1.0 I think.
