RE: Accessing the XML declaration, the namespace-uri() funct

Indeed the XML Recommendation defines these productions, which specifically
exclude putative PIs that begin with "xml":

Processing Instructions
[16]  PI ::=  '<?' PITarget (S (Char* - (Char* '?>' Char*)))? '?>'
[17]  PITarget ::=  Name - (('X' | 'x') ('M' | 'm') ('L' | 'l'))
