Swapping your sentences around: yes, the whole idea of +xml is that you

Something that might or might not be xml, therefore should not use +xml.
An XML parser must understand UTF-8 and UTF-16 and may understand other
encodings. I gather that the Efficient XML folks will declare a new
encoding, and parsers which don't know it will not parse it. Same is if
I said the encoding was
encoding="i-bet-you-never-heard-of-this-one"
"Efficient XML" seems to be more on the content encoding level than the
character encoding level to me. (Assuming you meant charset="blah" as
opposed to encoding="blah" above given your examples of UTF-8 and
UTF-16...)
