This is not a bug nor an inconvenience. Your XML document is simply not well-formed. Excerpts of http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml [1] document ::= prolog element Misc* [22] prolog ::= XMLDecl? Misc* (doctypedecl Misc*)? [23] XMLDecl ::= '<?xml' VersionInfo EncodingDecl? SDDecl? S? '?>' Note that before XMLDecl? there is no S. XML is not a loose format and XXE uses a very picky parser (James Clark's XP).
