This is a great idea, but it will require an implementation to queue
events. For example, if I have
<?foo bar?>
<!DOCTYPE doc SYSTEM "doc.dtd">
I have to queue the PI event(s) until I have found the DOCTYPE, so
that I will know the root element type and the URI of the external
DTD. If this information is important (and others have argued that it
is), then a separate docType() event would probably be appropriate.
All the best,
David
