Ah, must the XML declaration be at the very beginning of the file?  I
thought that it might be legal for it to be preceeded by SGML comments
or other processing instructions, etc.

[ looks at XML standard ]

Hm, it seems to say that the "XMLdecl" section must come first.  That
makes things a lot easier.  Then I'll change
`sgml-xml-auto-coding-function' to only look at the first line, and we
won't have to worry about an elisp file which contains the XML header
somewhere embedded in it.
