Gisle,
I suspect the specification of the encoding is dependant of how rdf is
utilised.
If the rdf is imbeded in the actual document (xml) then it should inherit
the encoding of the document, whereas if the rdf is independent of the
document it is describing then
the encoding should be specified.
ideally ... the rdf should inherit the encoding of the xml document ..
in the absence of an encoding declaration ... your suggestion sounds
reasonable ...
