Well with <xsl:variable name="pi1" select="//processing-instruction('xpp')[contains(., 'xpp:PageOptions')]"/> you can select the processing-instruction with name xpp which contains the string xpp:PageOptions in its data. You need to be aware that the data of a processing-instruction is unstructured, it often looks like a list pseudo attributes but there are no rules on the structure of the data and thus if you expect a certain structure you need to process the data as a string.
