Presumably an XML type processing instruction, eg

<?xml version="1.0"?> is a standard processing instruction, so perhaps
something like

<?xml talpi:fix_repeat_order="true"?>

(talpi for tal processing-instruction) might work?

This would be at the top of the PT. Presumably non-standard PT behaviour can
be triggered in this way too.

Yeah, that's another way of doing it. It also has the benefit of being
localised to a single tag (and it's hierarchy).
