Not so, this is a parsing issue. If the document is beeing parsed as
generic XML, the user agent doesn't know about link's semantics but may
interprete the xml-stylesheet processing instruction. If the document is
beeing parsed as XHTML the link element is recognized. Treatment of the
xml-stylesheet processing instruction is undefined for this case, as it
is for all processing instructions.
