Why not? If you look into the XML standard you'll notice that no
encoding attribute means the encoding of the file has to be utf-8. So
adding an explicit encoding attribute that states this would be
redundant.

If you change the encoding to something other than utf-8 the writer
should add the encoding attribute.
