Research direction
Start by reading the XML declaration handling in the parser and the existing tests for declarations; the issue does not name specific files. Check how the parser tracks whether it is at the start of the file and whether a declaration has already appeared. Done means declarations elsewhere in the file and repeated declarations are rejected, with tests covering both cases.
Written by the indexing model from the issue text.
Description
The parser allows XML declarations anywhere in the file. If a declaration exists it should be at the very beginning of the file.
Also, only one declaration should be allowed.
Both of these constraints are not currently enforced.
