Re: XML Declaration

> <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
using xerces through JAXP, if this line is present, I get a SAXException
every time when parsing the doc, along the lines of xml element not
allowed here. I have to remove the line before the doc will parse.
Am I missing something?

thanks,
Alistair
