Docs for namespace and other processing instructions?

The processing instruction was used in drafts of the Namespaces
specification until approximately August 1998, at which time it was
supplanted by the attributes now described in the spec.

I have seen several references to the processing instruction
"<?xml:namespace". I have also read the "Namespaces in XML" spec, which
discusses the "xmlns:" attribute. The relationship between the two is not
clear to me. My confusion may be connected to the fact that I have been
unable to find any formal documentation of "<?xml:namspace" or other
processing instructions. Is there any such formal documentation?

TIA,
