The LibXML::SAX::Parser module does not generate an event for the xml declaration of a document. It also warns about but ignores PIs within the document element, and silently ignores all sibling nodes of the document element.
The attached patch
1) generates an xml_decl() event immediately after the start_document event is generated. Note that there does not seem to be a method in LibXML to obtain the standalone property of the xml declaration.
2) processes all sibling nodes of the document element
3) generates a processing_instruction() event for a PI node
The patch has been tested with XML::SAX::Writer which correctly receives the new events.
