Unrelated to the original question, but:

If by 'XML declaration', you mean 'XML prolog', it is not required to be
included in XML. If you do not include one, the encoding typically
defaults to UTF-8, however, which is likely a problem if you have
iso-8859-1 encoded attribute data -- but since I don't think MapServer
has any way of knowing the encoding of your data, including one probably
doesn't help much anyway.
