Architectual forms processing instructions are incompatible with the XML
namespaces recommendation so incompatible with almost all current XML
tools.

Do you really have an XML processor that requires these Processing
instructions in XML as opposed to HTML files?

If you do, you have to fall back on the XSLT way of producing "not quite XML" 
namely:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
&lt;?IS10744:arch name="linkone-enabled" ....
</xsl:text>

what goes wrong if you just don't use the processing instruction?

ideally you need to update the application that is expecting that PI and
modify it to accept something that is conformant with the namespace spec.
