Hi,

AFAIK, a well-formed XML file must begin with the '<' caracter of the <?xml.. 
processing instruction.
That's for the parser to determine the encoding...

If your file does start with an empty line, it is not a well-formed XML file, at the same level as a file that would have a closing tag different from the opening one.

hi,

i'm in trouble with an xml file that is out of my control : it begins with an
empty line and i get a parsing error when remotely generating it.

Here's the exception i get :
org.apache.cocoon.ProcessingException: Failed to execute pipeline.:
http://www.fordmodelseurope.com/xml/:2:6:org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: The
processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.

any clue?
thanks
