interface InstructionProcessor in Zircon Profile 8

Provide an processor to handle embedded instructions.

XML defines a mechanism for inserting instructions (like PHP) into a document. These are called "Processor Instructions." The HTML5 parser provides an opportunity to handle these processor instructions during the tree-building phase (before the DOM is constructed), which makes it possible to alter the document as it is being created.

One could, for example, use this mechanism to execute well-formed PHP code embedded inside of an HTML5 document.

  /**
   * Process an individual processing instruction.
   *
   * The process() function is responsible for doing the following:
   * - Determining whether $name is an instruction type it can handle.
   * - Determining what to do with the data passed in.
   * - Making any subsequent modifications to the DOM by modifying the
   * DOMElement or its attached DOM tree.
   *
   * @param DOMElement $element
   *            The parent element for the current processing instruction.
   * @param string $name
   *            The instruction's name. E.g. `<?php` has the name `php`.
   * @param string $data
   *            All of the data between the opening and closing PI marks.
   * @return DOMElement The element that should be considered "Current". This may just be
   *         the element passed in, but if the processor added more elements,
   *         it may choose to reset the current element to one of the elements
   *         it created. (When in doubt, return the element passed in.)
