I haven't had time to investigate it fully (like inspecting the real DOM

three browsers I was testing on). It seems that Internet Explorer
presevers the

processing
instruction though, not a comment. Firefox simply drops all processing
instructions (or bogus comments) and you can not retrieve them in any
way.
Opera stores them in some quirky way. When looking at the innerHTML of
the page
I get things like: |<? target="test" content=""/>?>| for a processing
instruction which looked like: |<? test>|. We'll fix that sometime when
it gets
more important and when it is clear what we're supposed to do.
(Personally I can appreciate the approach Firefox took although that
leaves not
much room for using them sometime in the future...)
Before changing the way how Opera handles it, some way of behavior should
be standardized.
To me, it seems reasonable to drop invalid constructs like <? test>.
