I do not speak for W3C, but I can say with little fear of contradiction that consensus on this issue does not yet exist. Some people, as a matter of principle, regard PIs as problematic second-class syntax and would like simply to cease using them. Others see them as a perfectly respectable out-of-band signaling mechanism. Each time the idea of using PIs for some purpose has been proposed, lengthy and intense debate has ensued. In terms of W3C Recommendations, PIs occur in XML 1.0, where they are defined, and in DOM Level 1, which provides an API interface to them. There may be others but those are the ones I know about. -Tim xml-dev: A list for W3C XML Developers. To post, mailto:xml-dev@i...
