Am I missing something or is the spec lacking a description on how to parse the pseudo-attributes in the <?access-control?> PI?

I could have sworn it was there before but I can't find it now.

It's part of section 4.3 where it is said to be parsed identically to <?xml-stylesheet?>. That specification is however slightly unclear. Simon Pieters developed a proposal to address that problem and provide a generic algorithm for parsing processing instructions with pseudo-attributes[1], but it's not very clear how to proceed on that within the W3C.

It's not getting the pseudo-attribute value out of the PI that is unspecified, it's parsing the value of that PI. I see now that it does say that the value is a space-separated list of access-items, and further specifies in step 5 of section 5.2.1 what to do with these items.
