The DOMXML processor fails if it runs into processing instructions that BEGIN with any case composition of "XML".  See the rules here: http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xml#sec-pi

For example "<?xmltarget ?>" would cause a failure.

Admittedly its a bit of a tricky definition, but basically, anything is valid except the following targets: "XML", "XMl", "XmL", "Xml", "xML", "xMl", "xmL", and "xml"

"xmltarget" is valid because there is not whitespace folliwng the "l"

Since LibXML appears to now be built into php_domxml.dll, I can not upgrade from the built in version of 2.04.30 to the current version of 2.05.07.  Therefore I am reporting it as a bug in PHP.  

I sincerely appologize if this is in some way bogus.

Edin, update your libxml for the win32 build..

Thank you for taking the time to write to us, but this is not
a bug. Please double-check the documentation available at
http://www.php.net/manual/ and the instructions on how to report
a bug at http://bugs.php.net/how-to-report.php

first 3 characters "xml" are reserved for any future standard PIs. Currently "xml-stylesheet" is also support.
Upgrading libxml will not change this as there have been no changes to this rule in their library.

It is a bit of a confusing definition, because the defintion of a PI excludes instances of "XML" explicitly, yet it is already accounted for in the "Name" definition upon which it is based.  I therefore find fault with the W3's recommendation.

Unfortunately, the bug must therefore be in XML Spy which is the program that is generating the violating xml pi.

Btw. libxml is upgraded to 2.5.7.
