Both omit-xml-declaration="yes" or omit-xml-declaration="no" have no
meaning here, since there's method="text" specified. 

This means, that the output will be plain text (not xml) and due to
this will not contain any xml declaration.

Thus the whole problem is what tool is used to read and display the
generated text.
