POM files are XML, right?

Yes

So they ought to start with the following, no?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
(possibly with no or different encoding)

Yes. Note that there is a bug [1] with regards to pom files and encoding, when using the release plugin. It has been solved and the fix will be included in the next release (2.0-beta-8). Currently the release plugin writes all poms as UTF-8.

This line seems to have been omitted from quite a few poms.

Also, commons-parent-9.pom seems to have lost its AL header too - it
was in version 8.

To avoid this in the future, you can follow the instructions [2] under the heading "Please prepare the POM(s) for the release".
