As I tried to explain before, XSLT is about converting trees into trees.

You're starting with three characters, a less-than sign, a P, and a
greater-than sign, and you're trying to produce - what exactly? Half an
element node. It can't be done: producing an element node is an atomic
operation, you can't produce the <P> without also producing the </P> at the
same time.
