Details

Load up the following simple xml document (test.xml):
<test>This content is in an XML document</test>

You'll get the following error:

XML Parsing Error: syntax error
Line Number 1, Column 61,

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN">
------------------------------------------------------------ ^

This is pretty bizarre because the test.xml document only contains "<test>This 
is content in an XML document.</test>".
