Well, file has an option

but it doesn't give much help since

| $ file -z ./data/examples/himno_de_riego.rg
| ./data/examples/himno_de_riego.rg: XML 1.0 document, UTF-8 Unicode text, with 
very long lines (gzip compressed data, was "himno_de_riego.rg.xml", last

So I'm considering to modify file(1) to pick the string that follows
the first "doctype". Does that sound like a solution for you?
