The XML declaration in XML 1.1 will continue to be restricted to ASCII
characters only.  There is no way for you to detect a #x85 codepoint
between the '<?xml' and version in any case since until you read the
encoding declaration you are not certain to know what the encoding of
the bytestream is.  Therefore, the value of any non-ASCII codepoint
cannot be reliably determined and will be prohibited from appearing in
the XML declaration.
