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.
