Hi Mike,

I am getting the same error.

From what I can tell the parser is lumping together 2 processing
instructions into 1.

i.e.  <? p1 ?><? p2 ?>
The parser interprets this as one whole processing instruction with
inner text of  "p1 ?><? p2", hence the "Cannot have '?>' inside an XML
processing
instruction."

What I want to know is why and when it does this.
Placing spaces at various places can make the error go away, but
sometimes not.
Has anyone heard of this before or know exactly what causes it?

Thanks

Fernando
