Since ASCII is a subset of UTF-8, an XML file created using ASCII +
entities should be correctly read if the reader assumed it was UTF-8.
That is, there should be no harm in
writing some (most?) UTF-8 characters as entities. (or am I missing
something here?)
What does XSLT 2.0 say about needing the xml declaration for such encodings?
Is US-ASCII such an encoding?

With Saxon, it's the omit-xml-declaration that gives, and that's what's
specified in XSLT 2.0.
