The current E4X spec makes it hard to process XML files. Reading the whole document including the '<?xml version="1.0"?>' Processing Instruction results in an Error. See https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290525
To use E4X with Mozilla (especially for extensions or XULRunner based applications) the Mozilla implementation should accept that processing instruction if it's the first text in the string.

This bug was filled regarding https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=290525#c5

Reproducible: Always

And of course the original processing instruction should be returned from ToString.
