Re: XML declaration in DTD System ID? ...

Not necessarily true. Element names, for example, can contain any 
unicode name character, and some of those may be represented differently 
in different encodings. The seven-bit ASCII range is pretty stable (at 
least, unless you think someone might throw an EBCDIC file at you), but 
  if you want to do a full implementation you can't completely ignore 
encodings.

However, as the spec points out: If not otherwise specified, XML is 
normally assumed to default to UTF-8 or UTF-16, and distinguishing those 
is straightforward. If someone uses another encoding and doesn't tell 
you that they're doing so by providing the declaration, any breakage is 
their fault.
