The data type output function doesn't know what the client encoding is 
or whether the data will be shipped to the client at all.  But what I'm 
thinking is that we should remove the encoding declaration if possible.  
At least that would be less confusing, albeit still potentially 
incorrect if the client continues to process the document without care.
