XML DTDs can not specify an encoding. Document instances can use any

They most certainly can! This isn't obvious from the spec but if you pay close attention to the productions you'll note that an external DTD subset can include a text declaration; e.g.

<?xml encoding="ISO-8859-10">
<!ELEMENT NAME (#PCDATA)>
<!-- etc. -->
