Comment:

 This issue only happens to some people, some of the time, but it is
 definitely still
 [http://www.google.com/search?q=wordpress%20XML%20Parsing%20Error%3A%20XML%20or%20text%20declaration%20not%20at%20start%20of%20entity
 alive and well] in the latest version of Wordpress.  As mentioned, it is
 due to extra whitespace being introduced by plugins and user edits--
 something that the average user will probably never diagnose or fix on
 their own.

 Fortunately, there is a very easy patch that can be added to WordPress
 that will get rid of this problem for good, for everyone.   I've described
 that patch here (before I knew there was a trac site that I could use):

 http://wordpress.org/support/topic/241004

 Please consider merging this patch into the main WordPress codebase.
