No, inclusion is defined in terms of the infosets, not the serialized forms. The XML declaration (which is probably where the Blueberry declaration would live) does not get included. Only the documents that actually contained the Blueberry characters would have Blueberry declarations.  Again, as with XSLT, the Blueberry declaration could be determined before the document was actually serialized.

Yes, I suppose that's true, but I think this is a pretty strange thing to be doing, and it would be straight-forward to check with a parser.
