Wow, I don't know what's going on then.
Xerces folks, any idea what I could be doing in my parser derivative to
cause this? I can't see what I would be doing that would change behavior
based on if there's a newline in the beginning of the external entity.

Please respond to
xerces-dev
I tried parsing this with just Xerces, and it seems to handle it fine. In
both cases it reads and parses the
external entity properly. I expected this to be the case since Xalan
properly processes the XML in the
external entity when it is referenced in a different manner than in this
test case.
