XML processing instruction survey

[Joe Lapp]

We parse both XML and HTML, and you can configure whether to use the presence of the declaration to make the distinction.

I've always dreamt of having an indicator in this declaration that tells me whether the document includes any GE references besides refs to the predefined GEs.  I can get better throughput when I know they aren't there, and right now you have to configure the behavior up front.  I'd really like to autodetect on a per document basis.

... always pushing to squeeze through a few more docs per sec.
