Assuming that you're using <xsl:apply-templates> with no mode to
process the content of the PI's parent, then what you have should
work. Have you tried it with other processors?

Note that the <xsl:apply-templates> in your template won't have any
effect because PIs don't have any children. Perhaps you just wanted to
do <xsl:value-of select="." />.

Cheers,

Jeni
