Yes, you are correct, my statements are only about selecting PIs. It 
looks to me that you are better of using template matching rules instead 
of trying to select everything in the apply-templates' select attribute. 
That way, you can easily apply the templates to everything, make one 
specific match rule and one less specific for catching all others. That 
way, you let the processor do the work for you. It depends on your 
current template(s) if this approach will work for you. Here's a sample 
which only does something special with the last processing instruction:

   <xsl:template match="
       processing-instruction()
       [starts-with(., 'PageEnd_')]
       [position() = last()]" >
      
       <xsl:text>LAST</xsl:text>
       <xsl:copy />
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="node() | @*">
       <xsl:copy >
           <xsl:apply-templates select="node() | @*" />
       </xsl:copy>
   </xsl:template>
