I guess it comes from the fact that it (visually) looks like a PI. See this
short answer <http://www.dpawson.co.uk/xsl/sect2/N6145.html#d8016e49> from
Michael Kay and the first
chapter<http://www.cafeconleche.org/books/effectivexml/chapters/01.html>from
Elliotte's Effective XML book. Unfortunately, some "reference" sites
also
call this <http://xmlwriter.net/xml_guide/processing_instruction.shtml> a
PI.

I think so, but I haven't tested it.
