Are you sure you have to set this dynamically?  This seems odd.  You
should be able to use one of the encodings for which support is
required, like UTF-8, and have a static XML declaraction:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

You'd probably benefit by avoiding the HTML/XML auto-detection code. 
It shouldn't be too hard to create a page template subclass that
skipped that.  You didn't given enough details to just throw that out,
though.  (Zope 2 or Zope 3?  Filesystem or TTW?)
