If you look at section 2.6, you see that processing instructions are not permitted to have "xml" as the target. If "xml" is the target, it is an xml declaration, as described in section 2.8. This is represented in the document information item, not in the processing instruction information item. Part 1 specifically talks about the version property that comes from this XML declaration as being something present in SOAP's infoset. Ray Whitmer rayw@netscape.com
