Only about the second one. The first one is the XML declaration, and  
is not considered a processing instruction, despite being  
syntactically extremely similar.

Well, that particular XML declaration is equivalent to not having  
one, since UTF-8 is the default encoding. If the system at the other  
end requires one, then either your MIME types need fixing, or the  
system at the other end is broken.

What's wrong with append here? Does it give the right result, or some  
problem?
