Any kind of pre-processor or output filter. For example, your server
seems to support PHP, so your file might be put through some PHP script
and the PHP script generates the empty line at the top. If you have no
control over that, but control over the actual content, you might try
to remove the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> from the input, an
empty line at the beginning would then be legal.
