I am having a problem validating well-formed EAD documents in WordPerfect 9 (the WordPerfect 2000 Office Suite). The XML module in WP seems to insist on the root element <ead> being the very first thing in the document. So when its parser runs across the DOCTYPE declaration preceding the <ead> tag, it flags it as an error. Have any WP users out there run into this and found a way to resolve it?
