The signature for fmt/205 has a short variable byte sequence which needs to be expanded.

Currently looks for {20-86} bytes between XML declaration and the beginning of the tag. If XML has a DOCTYPE, then more bytes are needed.

Recommend the following BOF sequence: 3C3F786D6C2076657273696F6E3D(22|27)312E30(22|27){20-256}3C736D696C

Sample of SMIL file with DOCTYPE can be found here.

I've updated the signature for the next release and credited both Archives New Zealand and Brigham Young University. Let me know if that isn't correct. Thank you for the submission
