Why not just this?

xml_declaration is None and encoding.lower() not in ("utf-8", "us-ascii", "unicode")

Because it will write an invalid XML file when pass a file name on non-UTF-8 locale. Run test_write_to_filename_as_unicode on non-UTF-8 locale.

When the default encoding in open() be UTF-8, and only UTF-8, and nothing except UTF-8, this code could be simplified.

It can even be done earlier if open the file in UTF-8 instead of the default encoding with encoding='unicode'. But such change is not for backporting. I'll create a separate PR for the main branch only.

write("<?xml version='1.0' encoding='%s'?>\n" % (
declared_encoding,))
