[jdom-interest] Crimson bug

[Jon Baer]

Hey can I ask a question ...

Why is it that on mainly all the parsers I use that <?xml version="1.0"?> is a
*required* factor?  Im not sure if this relates to this bug but if its considered a
PI for mainly all applications which may use a stylesheet in the end shouldn't this
be an optional factor?

I never quite understood that.
