This is not possible. The XML syntax does not support the use of "/"
in name tokens. Please see:

As it should.
>How to correctly represent the tag name containing "/"?
That is not possible because it isn't correct.
You might consider using a name like <P2E> since it is not legal
syntax to write <P/E>.
I hope this helps.
