PyRXP is an amazing system -0- 

I have noticed one problem, not really a bug, but it is the irritation of the 
moment...

<?xml ...?>
<!DOCTYPE .... >
<!-- ... -->
<tag> ... </tag>

parsed with the "ReturnComments" flag set does not return the comment
between the <!DOCTYPE ...> and the initial xml tag.

I suspect that this is not really legal xml to use comments in this way,
but most tools seem to accept it without a problem.  Unfortunately, I have 
a set of users who discovered this "works" and have been using it.  Now, with 
a system upgrade, things fail.
