#156 closed defect (fixed)

<?xml ?> declaration is misplaced using Stream.render('xml', doctype='xhtml')

Reported by: bigcheesegs@… Owned by: athomas
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.5
Component: Serialization Version:
Keywords: xml doctype Cc:

Description

According to the XML 1.0 spec section 4.3.1 (​http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#sec-TextDecl)

The text declaration MUST NOT appear at any position other than the beginning of an external parsed entity.

However, using Stream.render('xml', doctype='xhtml'), the output contains. 

<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd">
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
... rest of document ...

Which is not well-formed XML.
