The requirement is that if the Condstart PI occurs before a text node, it has to be the first in the parent element. And the corresponding Condend PI has to be the last node in that element. So any of the middle PIs would be ignored. So, in this case: <p><?Fm Condstart USB?>If you need this, do that.<?Fm Condend USB?>text<?Fm Condstart foo?>Some text<?Fm Condend foo?>another text</p> the result would be <p platform="USB>If you need this, do that. text Some text another text</p> (spaces added for clarity). There are two general cases: 1. The first following-sibling is an element. In that case, I want to apply an attribute to each following-sibling element, up to the corresponding Condend PI. 2> The first following-sibling is a text node and the PI is the first child of its parent. In that case, I want to apply an attribute to the parent element. All other PIs can be ignored or passed through to the output.

Pulling up the pi value to the parent requires a different approach, I think. I wonder what happens if there is an element containing several pis, let's say, there is <p><?Fm Condstart USB?>If you need this, do that.<?Fm Condend USB?>text<?Fm Condstart foo?>Some text<?Fm Condend foo?>another text</p> which output do you want in that case?
