When Ian and I were working on "The XML Specification Guide" last year, I seem to remember noticing that if there was any leading whte space or a comment before the XML declaration, it becomes instead a processing instruction that happens to use the reserved target "xml". The spec does not explicitly forbid this. Richard, check that your documents have <?xml... right at the very start. Any good XML book should make very clear the difference between the XML declaration and a processing instruction -- I agree wth David!!
