I've found several non-federated applications (I don't recall which ones though) which require metadata to be uploaded manually will fail to upload or configure properly if the metadata contains an XML prolog. I've not seen such a problem if the prolog is not
there. <span style="background-color:rgb(255, 255, 255);display:inline !important">
For non-federated applications we provide a link to signed metadata extracted from the InCommon repository and we run xmlsectool on that to create the file. For now, I just made a note for application technicians that the prolog may need to be removed manually
from the file before uploading.</span></div>

Hello, is there an option to prevent xmlsectool from adding a prolog to the file it generates?</div>
