Summary: Wrong statement about XMLDecl in xmlwf.1 and xmlwf.sgml

Initial Comment:
The manual page (and its source xmlwf.sgml) state in the BUGS section, that an XML document without an XML declaration is not considered well-formed. This is wrong. See

http://www.w3.org/TR/2006/REC-xml-20060816/#NT-prolog

The attached patch should fix this. Please don't forget to recreate the manual page xmlwf.1 as the patch only applies to its source.

This has been reported as Debian bug #412786:
