I also forgot there was an <xsl:processing-instruction>
element, so this can be done more cleanly with:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:processing-instruction name="xml-stylesheet">
   <xsl:text>type="text/xsl" href="mathml.xsl"</xsl:text>
  </xsl:processing-instruction>
  <xsl:apply-imports/>
</xsl:template>
