[xml/sgml-pkgs] Bug#589875: libxslt1.1: should output encoding declaration with method=xml

[brian m. carlson]

Package: libxslt1.1
Version: 1.1.26-5
Severity: minor

When using the output method xml (whether implicitly or explicitly),
libxslt1.1 outputs an XML declaration.  However, it does not include an
encoding pseudo-attribute.  Obviously, libxslt1.1 knows what encoding it
used to output the data (hopefully UTF-8) and it should be explicit
about that.

The XSLT spec says:

  The xml output method should output an XML declaration unless the
  omit-xml-declaration attribute has the value yes. The XML declaration
  should include both version information and an encoding declaration.

Please be sure that when emitting an encoding declaration that you use
the upper-case form of "UTF-8" (see #568347).  I have not included a
testcase because this behavior is trivially reproducible with xsltproc.
