Description:

This class represents the XML Processing Instruction element. Processing instructions allow XML documents to contain instructions for applications. The 'name' instance variable represents the target of this processing instruction and is used to identify the application to which this processing instruction is directed.

 XML processing instructions are delimited by the start-tag '<?' and the end-tag '?>'. 

According to the XML 1.0 specification, the target names "XML", "xml" and so on are reserved for standardization


Instance Variables:
	name    <XML.NodeTag>   the target of this processing instruction, used to identify the application to which this processing instruction is directed.
	text            <String>                        the processing instructions themselves
