Can PI's be scoped inside an element?
Indeed they can. But I think what you really want is a PI containing the OID to be placed *before* the element. Doing it that way means that you will have the OID available before you even begin to parse the start-tag. That seems to me to be better than having it as the first attribute.
Fortunately, that can always be done: you can have a PI anywhere except inside another PI, a tag, an entity reference, a CDATA section, or a comment.
