That is not true. The definition of document in the XML 1.1 spec is:
( prolog element Misc* )
Where "Misc" is:
Comment | PI | S
So PIs and comments are absolutely allowed to follow the root element, just
as they are allowed to precede it.
This document is fine:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?mypi foo?>
<x/>
<?mypi bar?>
