Fatal Error! Error reported by XML parser Cause: 
org.xml.sax.SAXParseException: Content is not allowed in prolog.

>It looks like a Saxon issue.

Lots of people tend to assume that, despite the fact that Saxon was very 
careful to say that the error comes from the XML parser (which is not 
part of Saxon), and the XML parser is explicit that the problem is with 
the data it is being asked to process.

"Content not allowed in prolog" is a message that comes from Xerces and 
can mean a great number of things. It basically means that it succeeded 
in opening an input stream, but what it found there wasn't an XML 
document. The "1:39" is a line and column number, and the fact that 39 
is roughly the length of a typical XML declaration might well be 
suggestive. Perhaps the file contains an XML declaration and nothing else.
