It just wasn't mentioned in the XML Recommendation (and still isn't all that explicit). ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 has "always" supported use of ZERO WIDTH NO-BREAK SPACE () as an encoding signature for UTF-8 (where "always" probably means "since UTF-8 was added to ISO/IEC 10646-1:1993 as Amendment 2 some time before there was a Unicode 2.0"). The Unicode side of the Unicode==ISO/IEC 10646 equation was ambivalent (at best) about  as an encoding signature for UTF-8 for quite a long time after ISO/IEC 10646 blessed the idea, but the signature is now listed as such in Section 13.6, Specials, of the Unicode Standard, Version 3.0.
