Well.... I am personally convinced auto-detection is reliable. However,
in the event that you do not want to include the XML PI in your XML
document (it is not required) a button would be nice too. I am happy to
implement auto-detection AND a button. Button would be something like:
Parsing Mode: o auto-detect
o SGML
o XML
Any thoughts on which approach is preferable?
