Version 1.1 to 1.2 problems
I have a DTD that used to parse fine with 1.1. If I have
<?xml version="1.0"?> in the DTD file, then the new version of xerces(1.2)
throws a parsing exception 'Bad XML encoding
declaration, '{0}'.'
If I remove this line from the DTD things work ok. can anyone explain.

You probably have to inspect that line against the XML spec to check if its
valid or not. This might have been overlooked in 1.1 version. 1.2 version is
more robust in checking errors.

All external parsed entities start wtih an optional TextDecl, which is
different from the XMLDecl that starts the main entity.
TextDecl ::= '<?xml' VersionInfo? EncodingDecl S? '?>'
So the encoding is not optional in such entities. The external DTD subset is
an external parsed entity. This was a failing in the previous version, which
did not enforce this part of the spec.
