Yes, and that's what I'd recommend if DSSSL implemented the
query construction rule that would fire when PIs are
encountered. As it stands, randomly inserted PIs are entirely
overlooked by my DSSSL stylesheets.  

The PIs it does look for (<?dbhtml ...>) have to be inserted
in specific contexts where I look for them. Bummer.
