New submission from Tobias Kuhn:

The first line of an XML file should be something like this:

    <?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8'?>

The XML parser of xml.sax, however, seems to ignore the value of "version":

    <?xml version='X' encoding='UTF-8'?>

This should give an error, but it doesn't. It's not a very serious problem, but 
this should raise an error to be standards-compliant.

I experienced this bug in the rdflib package:
