Here is an example you can adapt:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="/theme/searchRetrieveResponse.xsl"  ?>
<document/>

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:transform version="1.0"
  exclude-result-prefixes="saxon xsd xsi xsl"
  xmlns:saxon="http://saxon.sf.net/"
  xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"
  xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"
>
  <xsl:output method="xml" version="1.0"
    media-type="text/xml" encoding="utf-8"
    omit-xml-declaration="no" indent="yes"
  />
  <xsl:template match="/">
    <document>
      <name><xsl:value-of
select="name(/processing-instruction()[1])"/></name>
      <value><xsl:value-of select="/processing-instruction()[1]"/></value>
      <name>@type</name>
      <value>
        <xsl:for-each select="/processing-instruction()[1]">
          <xsl:value-of select="saxon:get-pseudo-attribute('type')"/>
        </xsl:for-each>
      </value>
    </document>
  </xsl:template>
</xsl:transform>

I wish Saxon had an extension function saxon:get-pseudo-attributes($pi as
processing-instruction) ==> xs:string* which returned the name/value pairs.
