Officially, no. Appendix F.1 of the XML specification says that
any XML document not accompanied by external encoding information
must begin with the characters '<?xml'.
Check your local/config.php and cookbook scripts for any
"extraneous" whitespace. Especially look for a blank line following
a closing '?>' tag (in fact, I suggest eliminating any ?> tags altogether).
I'm pretty sure there must be a blank line in there somewhere, because
"view source" on various other pages on the site is showing a blank
line prior to the <!DOCTYPE declaration.
