In XML, a processing-instruction does not have attributes, it just contains
unstructured text. That is why these things are "pseudo-attributes": they
will not be unpicked by the XML parser, rather by the application.
Therefore, the DTD has nothing to say on the matter.

Whether adding an extra pseudo-attribute is within the requirements of the
"associating stylesheets" spec is another matter. I think it's silent on the
question.
