Xalan-C: Changes to SAXEvent reporting for the prolog from Xerces

[Jon Smirl <jo...@mediaone.net>]

Xerces is now reporting ignorable white space in the prolog.  Xalan is
catching this event and asking Xerces to create a TextNode representing
this. Xerces is failing in isKidOk on the TEXT_NODE insertion under the
DOCUMENT_NODE.

bool DocumentImpl::isKidOK(NodeImpl *parent, NodeImpl *child)
{
      static int kidOK[14];

      if (kidOK[DOM_Node::DOCUMENT_NODE] == 0)
      {
          kidOK[DOM_Node::DOCUMENT_NODE] =
              1 << DOM_Node::ELEMENT_NODE |
              1 << DOM_Node::PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION_NODE |
              1 << DOM_Node::COMMENT_NODE |
              1 << DOM_Node::DOCUMENT_TYPE_NODE |
              1 << DOM_Node::XML_DECL_NODE;

This doesn't allow TEXT_NODE children.

Xerces-C no longer lets ignorable whitespace, comments and characters
before root element to get through. Now it correctly lets any PI's
to be reported, as per the spec. So, hopefully this should be fixed.
