Re: First Editors' draft of XML Stylesheet PI 2e

The stated intent (para just above section 4) is to make the definition 
of "Processing instructions with pseudo-attributes" (hereinafter PIPAs) 
reusable by other specs.  But such other specs may not want PIs that are 
not PIPAs to be ignored, they may want them to be treated differently or 
whatever.

In fact, thinking about it more, it seems that this is also what we want 
in this spec.  We want to provide a way to recognize (and act upon) 
certain PIs, but we certainly do not want to force user agents to ignore 
any other PIs.  Yet, as the draft stands, it appears to force user 
agents wanting to claim conformance to this spec to completely ignore 
any PI that is not a PIPA, anywhere in the document. We should be 
careful to say something like "...must ignore for purposes of stylesheet 
linking" or something like that.
