[xquery-talk] Adding xml header to xquery result

[Michael Rys]

The declaration is not part of the datamodel but is simply a
serialization option.

You need to check if you can serialize the document this way.

Note that there is no semantic difference between either having or not
having the declaration given UTF-8 encoded data and XML 1.0.
