I've no idea. If you find an XML parser that accepts that file without error
then you should raise a bug report, it's a blatant non-conformance. This is
how Xerces reports it:

Error on line 2 column 6 of file:/c:/temp/test.xml:
 The processing instruction target matching "[xX][mM][lL]" is not allowed.
