Just confirmed this from w3.org...sorry:

Note that in this example, the XML declaration is included. An XML
declaration like the one above is not required in all XML documents. XHTML
document authors are strongly encouraged to use XML declarations in all
their documents. Such a declaration is required when the character encoding
of the document is other than the default UTF-8 or UTF-16.

No.  The XML tag is OPTIONAL if the character encoding is UTF-8 or
UTF-16.  See section 3.1.1 of the XHTML spec.
