Is this true? The production rules for XML 1.0 (second edition) say:
[1] document ::= prolog element Misc*
^^
This is the root element.
[22] prolog ::= XMLDecl? Misc* (doctypedecl Misc*)?
[27] Misc ::= Comment | PI | S
No comments are allowed before the XML declaration, but they are allowed
directly behind it and before the beginning of the root element.
Otherwise 90% of my XML documents would be invalid.
