"An XML declaration is not required in all XML documents; however XHTML
document authors are strongly encouraged to use XML declarations in all
their documents."
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/REC-xhtml1-20020801/#strict
Strongly encouraged but not required. As mentionned by others, the XML
declaration prevents MSIE 6 from being triggered into web standards
compliant rendering mode. So for best cross-browser compatibility, it is
preferable to avoid declaring the XML declaration.
