Re: Parsing XML from a CDATA Structure

An xml declaration has to be the first byte of the file or it is a
syntax error, but when you do 
"saxon:parse(field
you get the string value of the field element which contains some white
space before the xml delcaration.

It's a dangerous thing to have there anyway as whatever encoding is
specified there, the actual data will be in the encoding of the
surrounding document, so ignoring it is probably better than making it
be read without error, just zap it with a regexp-replace
"saxon:parse(replace(field[@name='body'],'^<\?xml[^>]*>',''))
