I'm using commit f4a8216 (the latest) from
https://github.com/AdaCore/xmlada.

Using

   DOM.Core.Nodes.Print (Doc,
                         Print_Comments => True,
                         Print_XML_PI   => True,
                         EOL_Sequence   => "");

I get <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>; output at
dom-core-nodes.adb:1436.

Are you sure you need standalone="no"?
https://www.quora.com/What-does-Xml-version-1-0-encoding-utf-8-standalone-yes-mean
says it could be left out with the same effect.

I think for the DOCTYPE you'd implement
DOM.Core.Document_Types.Create_Document_Type, which currently returns
null, and again you'd need to modify DOM.Core.Nodes.Write (:1450).

That's just a quick look ...
