Why can't you use elements or attributes for this?

Historically, in SGML days, the reason people used PIs for this was
because they needed to add processing-related stuff that their DTDs
didn't allow.  I would suggest the solution to the problem is more
flexible validation (or perhaps stylesheet) technologies rather than
PIs.
