[plt-scheme] xhtml generation

I've just committed a documentation fix to SVN. Those 'pcdata's are
supposed to be 'p-i's. Here's an example:

#lang scheme
(require xml)

(define a-pi (make-p-i #f #f "foo" "bar"))
(define a-p (make-prolog empty #f))
(define a-p/pi (make-prolog (list a-pi) #f))
(define a-d0
  (make-document a-p (make-element #f #f 'html empty empty)
                 empty))
(define a-d1
  (make-document a-p (make-element #f #f 'html empty empty)
                 (list a-pi)))
(define a-d2
  (make-document a-p/pi (make-element #f #f 'html empty empty)
                 (list a-pi)))

(display-xml a-d0)
(display-xml a-d1)
(display-xml a-d2)
