Actually, according to the W3C, an XML 1.0 parser will parse any 1.x document as 1.0
"Note:

When an XML 1.0 processor encounters a document that specifies a 1.x version number other than '1.0', it will process it as a 1.0 document. This means that an XML 1.0 processor will accept 1.x documents provided they do not use any non-1.0 features." -- Quoted from http://www.w3.org/TR/xml/#xmldoc
So even if you can't parse XML 1.1 per se, that still doesn't mean you can't just treat it as XML 1.0 . I do still recommend somehow adding XML 1.1 support, though.
