You should follow RFC 3023, section 7.1 which says:

  Registrations for new XML-based media types under top-level types
  other than "text" SHOULD, in specifying the charset parameter and
  encoding considerations, define them as: "Same as [charset parameter
  / encoding considerations] of application/xml as specified in RFC
  3023."

Saying the default of the charset parameter is "UTF-8" is inconsistent
with application/xml, using the suggested text would avoid this.
