How do I know that my document will be well-formed before I send it?
Because I wrote my code to make it so, and when I write the XML
declaration I assume that. I think the number of cases in which you
don't know in advance whether or not you will or will not be using
Burmese/Cambodian/Amharic or, God help us, NEL, in the markup
somewhere, are vanishingly small.
