public interface ProcessingInstruction extends Node
ProcessingInstruction interface represents a "processing
 instruction", used in XML as a way to keep processor-specific information
 in the text of the document.
  No lexical check is done on the content of a processing instruction and
 it is therefore possible to have the character sequence
 "?>" in the content, which is illegal a processing
 instruction per section 2.6 of [XML 1.0]. The
 presence of this character sequence must generate a fatal error during
 serialization.
