Gentlemen, it's terrible.

All CRLF XML files will end up looking like this in your buffer,

$ cat -v l.gpx
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>^M
<a></a>^M

See those ^M's?
That's because that
   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
line causes emacs to screw up recognizing
the CRLFs! See (info "(emacs) Coding Systems").
emacs-version "26.1"

See also bug#20623.

OK I tried it on a CRLF file like
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<a></a>

So it is indeed the UTF-8 it is unhappy about.

Workaround:
Don't use UTF-8, use plain ASCII when using XML in emacs. Great.

Actually UTF-8 is the default for XML, not ASCII.

Also please test when there is no CRLF at all on the final line.

This looks like a duplicate of bug#34704[1], which was fixed in Emacs
26.2.  Can you confirm that it works for you in 26.2?

[1]: https://debbugs.gnu.org/34704

> emacs-version "26.1"

This is not enough information for debugging issues in general.  Please

That bug is also marked as fixed in Emacs 26.2.

Thanks,
