I am running Saxon from the command line

java -cp Saxon net.sf.saxon.Query some.xquery

It runs and returns string data.

However, it als includes the following:

<?xml version=“1.0” encoding=“utf-8”?>

What option or parameter is required in xquery or java call to prevent this from being part of the output?

saxon xquery java

If it's returning string data then you probably don't want & and < to be escaped, so you should be running with method=text. You can specify that either within the query itself (declare option output:method "text"); , or on the command line (!method=text).
