Isn't .net right here? The production for a parsed entity is:

[78] extParsedEnt ::= TextDecl? content - Char* RestrictedChar Char*

which means that all the text after the ?> (including the newline)
should be parsed as content, doesn't it?

The situation is different from a document, where a following element is
mandatory (and white space after the xml declaration is parsed as S?)

An external parsed entity might _only consist of text.
