Yes, you can parse this XML. You will, however, need to either
disable XML Schema validation in the underlying XML parser or
supply the schema information in an alternative way. For details,
please see Section 5.1, "XML Schema Validation and Searching" in
the C++/Tree Mapping User Guide:

XML declaration (that's what this part is called) is optional so
there shouldn't be any problem with removing it.
