No, that wouldn't work here. Like attributes and comments, processing
instructions don't have child nodes. The "text" of the processing
instruction is the value of the node itself, not the value of a child
text node as it would be with an element.

So if you use xsl;copy you copy the whole node, including its value, and
can not change the text inside.

By using <xsl:processing-instruction name="{name()}"> you generate a PI
with the same name as before but you are then free to apply string
replace templates to modify the PI text.
