No, the <?xml line is perfectly valid. Forget that post. You don't need
to update anything.

When I made that post, I hadn't discovered the 'short_open_tag' option,
so I worked around it by using PHP to output the initial <?xml line. I
must've been having a dumb moment.

When I looked at the problem again yesterday, I figured that we needed
to stop PHP from treating the first line (the XML document declaration)
as PHP code just because it started with '<?'. That's when I discovered
the 'short_open_tag' PHP ini-file option, and disabled it, which was
what fixed the problem.
