Subject: Crimson: Bug when document begins with whitespaces?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit

When a parsed XML document begin with one or more whitespace(s), Crimson 
fails when it encounters the XML declaration  and it returns the  
message P-019 : "XML declaration may only begin entities". I've the 
problem with the RSS documents generated by 10.am.
So i've added a line in the  parseInternal (InputSource input) of 
Parse2, here's the code

    private void parseInternal (InputSource input)
    throws SAXException, IOException
    {
        if (input == null)
            fatal ("P-000");

        try {

....
            contentHandler.setDocumentLocator (locator);

            contentHandler.startDocument ();

....
             // Add by Vincent Faidherbe (vfaid@icogs.com)
             // Because the XML document could start with whitespaces.
             // Check RSS feed from 10.am for example ;-)
             //
            maybeWhitespace();
            // end add

            maybeXmlDecl ();
....


Now, it's works fine when the document starts with whitespaces.
I don't know if it is a bug but if it is, i think i've fixed it.
