Hi,
http://www.bjoernsworld.de/temp/chars-before-xmldecl.html is
[...]
<?xml version='1.0' encoding='iso-8859-1'?>

That's an invalid XHTML 1.0 Strict document (note the CRLF preceding the
XML declaration). Now the HTML Validator
http://validator.w3.org:8001/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bjoernsworld.de%2Ftemp%2Fchars-before-xmldecl.html
says it's valid. That's bad. The Site Valet XML Validator finds the
error
http://valet.webthing.com:8000/xmltest/val.so?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.bjoernsworld.de%2Ftemp%2Fchars-before-xmldecl.html
In the good old days the validator confessed it's limited XML support by
pointing at http://www.jclark.com/sp/xml.htm IIRC. Since the XML support
is obviously not any better than before, the not should be reassembled.
regards.
