Hello  
could be possible to remove the xml declaration to the output of the xml node?  
"\<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?\>

or perhaps a simple way to do this?

Thank you

Auto answer  
Use the change node  
set the node to "change" and replace the string

If you did that, it wouldn't be XML any more 😉
