In article <q2ehi2hgom5vm7girqfhdp8f8te9efmd2c@...> you write:

>That is incorrect, only processing instruction targets cannot be "XML".

All names beginning xml, XML, etc are reserved.  It's not a
well-formedness error to use them, but you should not use them except
as defined by XML standards (and, of course, when experimenting with
new ideas for standardization).
