Similarly, what if I want to include a processing instruction in my HTML
output, e.g.:

   <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML 2.0//EN">

I cannot figure out how to include a processing instruction of any kind
since XT complains when it meets the "<!" PI start tag. That would include
internal ENTITY definitions as well.

Thanks in advance.
