If you're using Java, something like

    public class Filter extends XMLFilterImpl {
        public Filter(XMLReader r) {
            super(r);
        }
        public InputSource resolveEntity(String publicId, String systemId)
                throws SAXException, IOException {
            processingInstruction("entity", systemId.substring(systemId.lastIndexOf('/') + 1));
            return super.resolveEntity(publicId, systemId);
        }
    }

would do it, too. (Unless, of course, you have nested entity inclusions and preceding::processing-instruction('entity') would not work, then you'd need to use an element to wrap the entity replacement fragment.)
