The error means that no more pseudo-attributes are allowed following
the standalone pseudo-attribute.

And no, it's not a bug in the XML parser - it was a mal-formed XML
document, which you corrected.

If you look at the XML recommendation (1.0 or 1.1) you will see that
the grammar for the XML declaration specifies the order of the
pseudo-attributes - version, then encoding, then standalone declaration.
