This is known as a "Dorothy Dixer" in Australian parliament - that's when
someone from your own party asks you a question that you want to answer. As you
pointed out, two years is a long time in this market. Imagine if anyone had been
foolish enough to develop to the working draft, etc. [Insert numerous other
cheap points here.]

Yes, version 1.0 of the recommendation shows the XML declaration as being:

XMLDecl ::= '<?xml' VersionInfo EncodingDecl? SDDecl? S? '?>'

Go to http://www.w3.org/TR/1998/REC-xml-19980210.html#sec-prolog-dtd if you want
the whole story. (You may have to remove the line break from the URL.)
