I too ran into the issue where extra characters precede the "<?xml " string, causing incompatibilities with other apps. I handled it, but I shouldn't have to --- Yes, IBM should correct their implementation.

It's not absolutely clear from the W3C standard itself, but it is very
clear from the examples given with it; that the output must start with
the string "<?xml ".  That is to say, although line feeds and spaces are
effectively ignored within XML, they are not catered for before the
"<?xml " string.  And while the traditional Pick 'thing' is to
"make-it-work-if-possible", Excel follows the (arguably more standard)
convention of "holy-heck-that's-not-right-do-nothing"
