Well that's what I'd remembered reading... and at the time I was trying
to figure out why a particular XmlParse(variable) wasn't working...
turned out XmlParse(trim(variable)) was the fix, because the parser was
choking on white space before the document root element (there wasn't a
doc type in that particular packet). And since then I've always been
sure to trim() before using XmlParse because of that. This is the first
time I can recal anyone disagreeing about the white space, although I
would personally have loved for the standard to insist that the parser
be able to handle white space there.
