I don't understand what you mean by "more tightly linked"...
Having multiple roots is almost as having multiple documents, one after
another, in a single message or in a single file... ?!?
I have seen plenty of examples of XML documents which are nothing but a
collection of sub-documents and, in these cases, the root is
meaningless, just there to have a valid XML document. When you convert
a CSV file to an XML document, you have to create a root element, let's
say 'Records', without attributes, and as many 'Record' elements as
lines in the CSV file. I think 'Records' is useless...

You didn't respond to what I thought
was the more interesting point: multiple roots result in producer,
intermediary,
and consumer being more tightly linked. Yes, as someone pointed out,
you have the issue of trailing comments and PI's, but I'll do a
hand-wave
and say those are not common. And I admit I'm trying to brush off
something I find inconvenient. :)
