Done.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-15" standalone="yes"?>

is 62 characters long, not counting the byte order mark. I have 
published books in which I was required to keep all lines of code to

XML declaration would be a significant hardship for me and anyone 
else who writes about XML with largish fonts on narrowish pages.
