New submission from towb:

This generates an XML declaration:

    import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

    root = ET.Element('rss', version='2.0')
    tree = ET.ElementTree(root)
    tree.write('test.xml', encoding='iso-8859-1', xml_declaration=True)

However the declaration disappears if your don't pass an encoding. This doesn't 
match the documentation:

    xml_declaration controls if an XML declaration should be added to the file. 
Use False for never, True for always, None for only if not US-ASCII or UTF-8 or 
Unicode (default is None).
