It's a huge pain to link to threads from the mailinglist archives, but here's Andy's e-mail on the subject:<br><br><a href="http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0905&L=jsr-314-open&F=&S=&X=40EFF100C4CB5F138F&P=922">http://archives.java.sun.com/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0905&L=jsr-314-open&F=&S=&X=40EFF100C4CB5F138F&P=922</a><br>

Oh, I forgot one use case. Max was saying that they need to use CDATA in their templates, but the CDATA should not be sent to the browser. So there is the same problem with CDATA as with the XML declaration.<br><font color="#888888"><br>

Oh, THAT's what he meant. He tried to describe the problem to me, but our discussion got cut off. I've even run into this with demos - it's actually a pretty big deal, I think.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>

Fortunately, the declaration is optional, as I understand the XML standard.<br></blockquote></div><div><br>Right, but from what I understand from Max, tooling is adding it aggressively and it becomes a fight between developer and tool to leave it off. He could probably speak to this more.<br>

As for "some browsers", let's just name it: IE. The XML declaration triggers their "I don't care about your mime-type, I know better than you" code. Though it wouldn't be surprising if it triggered some quirks-mode in other browsers.<br>
