More thoughts on this issue:

For the encoding we've explicitly left that out of the Document and put
it as a flag to the XMLOutputter.  Maybe standalone should be handled
similarly?  Or maybe encoding and standalone should be aspects of the
Document.  I'm curious to hear arguments either way.  At the moment I'm
thinking of putting both in Document to better match Infoset.
