Help DOCTYPE stuff

[Matthew Oatham <ma...@hotmail.com>]

Hi,

I would like to know what the following element is called in an x,l document 
and how I can retrieve this from a DOM.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

Thanks.

Matt

This is the XML declaration:

You can't retrieve it from a DOM as such (DOM3 allows retrieving
the values for the standardized pseudo-attributes).
