According to XPath Data Model: "There are no Processing Instruction Nodes for processing instructions that are children of a document type declaration information item." (see "I.5 Processing Instruction Nodes Information Items") http://www.w3.org/TR/xpath-datamodel/ Does this imply that PIs appearing within DTD must NOT be rendered to canonical output? For example, if input XML file is: <!DOCTYPE x PUBLIC "myX" "x.dtd" [ <?t2 t2-body ?> <!ENTITY a "aVal"> ]> <x>y</x> Then I can think of two possible outputs: Output#1: <x>y</x> Output#2: <?t2 t2-body ?> <x>y</x> Is Output#1 the canonical form of the input XML file? XML-C14N spec clearly states that comment nodes appearing within DTD must not be rendered to the canonical form. I'd like to confirm that it's also true for PIs.
