You're right. According to w3c-
(http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-xml-20040204/#sec-prolog-dtd) 

"[Definition: XML documents SHOULD begin with an XML declaration which
specifies the version of XML being used.]" (note the word 'begin')

As xhtml is meant to be a flavour of xml, it doesn't make much sense to
have the xml declaration anywhere but the beginning... 

Also on the subject of xhtml & 3.6, I haven't checked out the latest
source, but in 3.6RC1 there was only the option for xhtml 1.0
transitional...does anybody know if 1.0 strict will be an option in the
final version?
