<xsl:processing-instruction name="xm-instertion_mark-start"
>author="x0167021" time="20120618T161651-0600"</xsl:processing-instruction>
<xsl:copy-of select="."/>
<xsl:processing-instruction name="xm-instertion_mark-end"/>

If you need to calculate the name, it is an attribute value template 
so you can use brace brackets for XPath expressions.
