The first two lines contain the file declaration:

Line one means that the file uses version 1.0 of the XML standard and that it can be used on computers that support UTF-8 character encoding.

CARIS_SdgConfigFile defines the tags and attributes in the sounding rounding file.

Both tags are necessary and must be included in any custom file.
