According to the XML 1.0 specification, section 2.8:

[Definition: XML documents should begin with a XML declaration which 
specifies the version of XML being used]

I believe that the use of 'should' instead of 'must' here makes it 
highly recommended, but not strictly required. Anyway, the comments in 
my previous message (the 'browser support is what really matters' part) 
remain valid.
