I think that in the case of binary output, it'd be possible for xml_send
to include an encoding decl safely, because it could be sure that that's
where the data is going forthwith. Not sure if that's worth anything
though. The idea of text and binary output behaving differently on this
point doesn't seem all that attractive ...
