I agree with DanC that the main inconvenient about PIs is that they aren't bound to namespaces. And it would be a problem if VoiceXML was mixed with other markup in a document. Unless the PI's semantics applied to any XML document, which I don't expect VoiceXML 2.1 to do. > Dave gave another: the DOM doesn't give access to them. It does and XSLT too. See http://www.w3.org/TR/2004/REC-DOM-Level-3-Core-20040407/core.html#ID-1004215813 On the other hand, SOAP 1.2 doesn't allow them. I know the reasons for that have been discussed many times, but I'm still hold the grudge that SOAP has unilaterally killed PIs in any XML document that might be wrapped in it. Just like doctypes. But I digress. So my point is: the only reason why PIs should be avoided is namespaces. The other ones mentioned in this thread aren't valid, in my opinion. Max.
