The XML standard states that an XML document without an "encoding" attribute in the XML declaration is encoded in either UTF-8 or UTF-16. If it is encoded in UTF-16, then it
MUST have a Byte Order Mark. Therefore, if it doesn't have an encoding attribute and it doesn't have a BOM, it must be UTF-8.
In plain English, UTF-8 is the default character encoding for XML. I thought everyone knew that.
But I'll add the attribute, it can't hurt.
EDIT: And
here's the source. Just invert the negatives.

... it is a fatal error [...] for an entity which begins with neither a Byte Order Mark nor an encoding declaration to use an encoding other than UTF-8.
