I have put up a new beta release of Microstar's Java-based XML parser,
=C6lfred (AElfred), with two minor bugs fixed:

1) When =C6lfred finds "<?xml" at the beginning of an entity, it looks
for whitespace before assuming that it has found an XML declaration
or text declaration.

2) =C6lfred now allows optional version info in the text declaration
(formerly the encoding PI), as permitted by the 1997-12-08 spec.

You can download the new version from

http://www.microstar.com/XML/

Please note that =C6lfred is strictly case sensitive, as required by th=
e
spec (with SGML keywords in uppercase, and XML-specific ones in
lowercase). In other words, you may use

<?xml version=3D"1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE doc SYSTEM "doc.dtd">

but not

<?XML VERSION=3D"1.0"?>
<!doctype doc system "doc.dtd">

All the best,

David
