The following VBA code generates <?xml version='1.0'?> as output.

Dim XML As New DomDocument  Dim pi As IXMLDOMProcessingInstruction  '.... some code that sets the root element of the document  Set pi = XML.createProcessingInstruction('xml', 'version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'')         XML.insertBefore pi, XML.documentElement 

Why is the encoding='UTF-8' left out?

    UTF-8 is the default encoding anyway. What you’ve specified is redundant, so the serializer likely omits it. The version field is not an optional field, though. If the file has an XML declaration at all, the declaration must include the version field.
