How to read xml-stylesheet Processing Instruction from XML using DOM Parser

Question

Hi,
I am trying to read an xml that contains xsl stylesheet PI using DOMParser. The parse() method reads the entire contents of the XML except the PI instruction. Below is the XML I am using to read
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="../../../lang/en-us/style0/usc_profile.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<Oblix oblang="en-us" xmlns="http://www.oblix.com/" xmlns:oblix="http://www.oblix.com/">
<ObProfile>
</ObProfile>
</Oblix>
Can anyone let me know if there are any propery settings to be done for the DOM parser before parsing?. If so, what is the property to be set?.
Thanks in Advance

A COTS product builds the XML and inserts the respective xsl (xml:stylesheet) file name to be used for transforming the xml. I am trying to interrupt this xml and make some updations on an element and finally send the updated xml to the stream.
For the above process, I parse the input XML using DOMParser and update the elements (some internal elements). While I view the final XML that would be passed to the stream, I found the <?xml-stylesheet... PI is missing.
I somehow managed using a temp fix by doing the below. I manually pulled the PI using document.getFirstChild().getNodeValue() and reconstructed the PI and inserted it to the outgoing XML. This needs to be done every time. This might run into problems when more than one PI is used in the XML.
If the parsed XML could get the PI along with it the above problem could be resolved.
Is there any property that could be set on the parser (prior to parsing) to resolve the issue?.
