It's an abbreviation for "Processing Instruction". It looks like this:
<?piname arbitrary text?>
Typically, these are used to provide special instructions to a particular
processor or in a particular processing mode. Norm's Docbook XSL
stylesheets use, for example, a series of processing instructions labelled
<?dbhtml ...?> or <?dbfo ...?> depending on the output type. In your case,
you could use a processing instruction like <?jjramsey pause?>. Then, in an
XSL customization layer, write a template like:
<xsl:template
match="processing-instruction('jjramsey')[contains(.,'pause')]">
<div class="pause"><img src="graphics/break.png"/></div>
</xsl:template>
