Because you can force the encoder to use a specified encoding. If you do
this and the unicode string starts with an XML declaration, the encoder
will put the specified encoding into the declaration:
import codecs
e = codecs.getencoder("xml-auto-detect")
print e(u"<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?><foo/>",
encoding="utf-8")[0]
This prints:
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?><foo/>

Doing the bit fiddling for
Modules/_codecsmodule.c::detect_xml_encoding_str() in C felt like the
right thing to do.
