That did the trick for the DOCTYPE declaration, but I still don't have an
<?xml?> processing instruction.
I'm building a DOM tree in memory, then writing it to disk using code
snitched from DOMPrint. All the nodes and now the doctype declaration are
output just fine (thanks again), but there is no <?xml ...?> line at the top
of the xml file.
