Yyou're right. I was indeed missing something. Thank you.

In that case, I guess it'd make sense to do the same for HTML.

Oh and I've said PHP 5's parser (libxml2) treat it as text; I've just  
realised there was an error in my test. In reality it does ignore  
whitespace at the root of the document. Sorry for the confusion.
