 XSLT requires that the name in <xsl:processing-instruction> should be an NCName (no-colon-name) in order to make it valid in namespace-aware-XML. So there is no way of generating the HTML you want to generate. You could use d-o-e as David Carlisle suggests, or do some post-processing with a text editor.
