String that look like processing instructions (including <?php ... ?>) are non-conforming in text/html and don't cause PI DOM nodes to be created in text/html. Thus, the polyglot guide would have wrong if it didn't say that PIs don't belong in the polyglot subset. As for <?php ... ?> being bogus in text/html in the first place, the HTML5 spec deals with what travels over the public network, so server-side pre-processor syntaxes are out of scope. Thus editing environments that want to preserve pre-processor syntax can't even follow the HTML5 spec proper when it comes to that syntax. -- Henri Sivonen hsivonen@iki.fi http://hsivonen.iki.fi/
