Matt Sergeant has already implemented a Perl module "Apache::MimeXML".
Let's encourage such implementation efforts!
http://www.cpan.org/modules/by-module/Apache/Apache-MimeXML-0.08.readme
> NAME
> Apache::MimeXML - mod_perl mime encoding sniffer for XML files
>
> SYNOPSIS
> Simply add this line to srm.conf or httpd.conf:
>
> PerlTypeHandler +Apache::MimeXML
>
> Alternatively add it only for certain files or directories using
> the standard Apache methods. There is about a 30% slowdown for
> files using this module, so you probably want to restrict it to
> certain XML locations only.
>
> DESCRIPTION
> An XML Content-Type sniffer. This module reads the encoding
> attribute in the xml declaration and returns an appropriate
> content-type heading. If no encoding declaration is found it
> returns utf-8 or utf-16 depending on the specific encoding.
