Huh? The Infoset spec says:
There is a processing instruction information item for each
processing instruction in the document.
They appear as the children of
- the document info item for PIs at top-level
- the document type declaration info item for PIs in the internal
and external subsets
- element info items
Perhaps you were thinking of comments, which are indeed not
represented when they occur in the DTD (they are useless out of
context of the declarations).
