It is called *Simple*XML*Element* for a reason. However, this particular
character encoding declaration is superfluous; UTF-8 is one of the XML
default encodings [1].

And do use header() to declare the XML media type that fits your data best.
Keep in mind that PHP's default is text/html which is not appropriate for
that kind of output.
