XML parsing fails

The following JSP fails.  Is there something basic that would be causing 
the error "javax.servlet.jsp.JspException: Content is not allowed in 
prolog"???

FYI: Note that I'm pointing to a valid XML document on the W3C site.  I 
also create my own, making sure no characters of any kind exist before 
the xml starting directive.
