XPath data model and the XML Declaration

Hi

Compontents of an xml file are mapped to the different node types of the 
xpath data model.
An element is mapped to an element node, an attribute node represents an 
attribute and its value ... and so on.

so far so good

But what happens to the xml declaration (<?xml version="1.0" ......?>). 
Though it looks like a processing instruction it isn't.

The XPath specification [1] only says that the XML Declaration does not map 
to a the node type processing instruction node (5.5).

Does the XML Declaration map to a Xpath node type or not.
If yes - what type of node?

thx

Helmut
