XQuery Update specifies an update primitive that changes the name of a
processing instruction without changing it's identity. However, implementation
like the one that I've been working that have a data model based on W3C DOM
cannot do this, since W3C DOM does not provide a way to rename a processing
instruction.

Can I suggest that you either allow the processing instruction's identity to
change in this case (and deal with all the possible variable value fix-ups), or
don't allow processing instructions to be renamed at all.
