It becomes useful if the character encoding is neither of UTF-8 or one of 
the UTF-16s.  It's also mandatory for XML 1.1, but I don't think there is a 
lot if that about!

But, you're right, for UTF-8 encoded characters, having the line as <?xml 
version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> doesn't serve that much purpose!

HTH,

Pete.
