OK....
If you see<? some text> treat it like a HTML comment.
Again for this also a comment node will be created in DOM,
and when its parent nodes .innerHTML is displayed the original content
will be shown with out altering.
the text inside<? and> may contain any number of question mark or
greater than sign,
as long as greater than sign is enclosed in single quote or double
quote.
Hmm. So more or less faking PIs?
I agree that allowing "?>" part is weird, they should have done it
same way as "<% text %>"
I don't see why; for PIs the IE behavior actually sort of makes sense....
PIs in SGML and XML are not sensitive to quote marks.
