In future times, the preamble might contain information which
should not be dropped, e.g. when there is an XML version
different from "1.0".

For PageTemplates, we know that the encoding information is probably
not relevant after the parsing -- unless we want to use it
as a default for the "Content-Type" charset but I doubt that this
is a good thing. If the "Content-Type"'s charset is given explicitely,
then the "encoding" of the XML declaration needs to be
adapted to this value during the serialization anyway -- thus
overriding any "encoding" present there.
