Dear XHTML editors, The following descriptions in Appendix C of XHTML 1.0 specification sounds inappropriate since the XML declaration is NOT a processing instruction (isn't it?). I think the descriptions should not imply that an XML declaration is a kind of processing instruction. <http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/#guidelines> C.1 Processing Instructions Be aware that processing instructions are rendered on some user agents. However, also note that when the XML declaration is not included in a document, the document can only use the default character encodings UTF-8 or UTF-16. C.9 Character Encoding To specify a character encoding in the document, use both the encoding attribute specification on the xml declaration (e.g. <?xml version="1.0" encoding="EUC-JP"?>) and a meta http-equiv statement (e.g. <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content='text/html; charset="EUC-JP"'/>). The value of the encoding attribute of the xml processing instruction takes precedence. Best regards, -- Jun Fujisawa <mailto:fujisawa.jun@canon.co.jp>
