In the unstable version of sp, there is a new file called
/usr/lib/sgml/declaration/xml.soc (at least, I don't think this was
present in potato).  One can follow the instructions in the nsgmls
documentation (xml.htm):

To enable SP's support for XML 1.0: 

     Set the SP_CHARSET_FIXED environment variable to YES. 
     Set the SP_ENCODING environment variable to XML. 
     Set the SGML_CATALOG_FILES environment variable to point to the
     file pubtext/xml.soc. 
     Use the -wxml option. 
     If the document is not supposed to be valid, use -wno-valid
     option. 

Thus, the following works:

$ SP_CHARSET_FIXED=YES SP_ENCODING=XML \
  SGML_CATALOG_FILES=declaration/xml.soc \
  nsgmls -wxml -gues minimal.xml
