At a guess that's a file upload?

At a guess, the <?xml ...> line causes your browser to send the file
as "text/xml", which means we have to apply XML rules.  And also at a
guess, without the <?xml ...> it gets sent as text/html, so
HTML rules apply.

It would save a lot of guessing if you told us the problem.
