Change the first line of the plist

You'll need to make the first line for the launchd plist something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

To make it truly valid so tools like plutil don't complain. Also, note that the inline launchd plist is different than the downloadable one, as they call different arguments, so be sure to inspect them first for what's appropriate.
