Team Xerces-C, After parsing an XML file with IDOMParser, IDOM_Document::getDocumentElement() returns a "root" element containing two children, the XML declaration as a text node and the true XML root element node. Is there a way to configure IDOMParser so that the XML declaration is not added to the document tree in this manner? as there is in the DOMParser via the setToCreateXMLDeclTypeNode() method. Thanks much. Dennis W.
