Summary: Xml document which begin with an empty line

Initial Comment:
In a xml document which begins with an empty line, for
example:
"""Start here"""

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<bugged></bugged>
"""End here"""

Expat give this parse error: 
XML Parsing Error: xml processing instruction not at
start of external entity.
I discoverd this bug when I tried to pass an xhtml
document to firefox via ASP.NET with the
"application/xhtml+xml" content-type.
