Interesting. Shouldn't the pseudo-element have an end-tag, so that both the start and the end of the data to which the PI applies, can be marked? For example, in the eXtensible Protocol, the 'xp'-pseudo-element has : <?xp > ... <?xp / ?> I believe this can be useful for other PI elements as well. Peter xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers.
