Please forgive my ignorance; Common XML *Core* excludes PIs.  It appears
that you've intentionally left the boundary between XML and Common XML
fuzzy, if not altogether invisible.  Of course Common XML doesn't exclude
anything in XML.  It *is* XML.

If CXML is intended to partition XML features, the naming scheme needs
work.
