     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DAFFODIL-1844?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Dave Thompson closed DAFFODIL-1844.
-----------------------------------

Verified the latest updates from the incubator-daffodil repository included the specified commit, 15ebb3770a13b730d81b14ffc94a06fa4d1205ad.

Execute parse command for xml, scala-xml, jdom and w3cdom infoset formats creating an xml file for each. The generated xml, jdom and w3cdom infoset files each included the specified line of xml.

The generated scala-xml infoset file did not include the specified line. Per Steve L. this was expected.

> According to [https://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml/#sec-prolog-dtd], XML documents SHOULD begin with an XML declaration (e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>. Although this isn't mandatory, some things may not recognized the output as an XML document. For example, the 'file' command says the data is HTML. This isn't a big deal, but is technically more correct.
