Without these declarations, the XML file cannot be validated correctly.

See examples:

• https://maven.apache.org/pom.html#Quick_Overview
• https://github.com/aws/aws-sdk-java-v2/blob/master/aws-sdk-java/pom.xml

The tool I'm using actually tries to validate these before using them
(https://tiny.amazon.com/ibdzmlln/paste -- Amazon internal link), so
that's why I ran into issues. I'm assuming most tools don't have the
validation enabled, so this is why others haven't reported this before.

The same issue can be easily replicated by pasting the current POM
files in https://www.w3schools.com/xml/xml_validator.asp as well
as just trying to open them with Firefox.
