Aaron,

Exactly right.  In fact the first thing the virtual file reader does is
check if the beginning 18 characters of the file match "<OGRVRTDataSource>".
If not, no attempt is made to read the file as a virtual file.

So, no extra white space, <?xml> lines or anything like that is allowed.

Best regards,
