RE: XHTML with embedded XQuery: how to deal with
the DOCTYPE declaration? How to deal with the default XHTML namespaces?

Play the video

As with Kelly's MarkLogic example, you would set the doctype in eXist
using the following in your XQuery's prolog:

declare option exist:serialize "method=xhtml media-type=text/html
omit-xml-declaration=no indent=yes
        doctype-public=-//W3C//DTD&#160;XHTML&#160;1.0&#160;Transitional//EN
        doctype-system=http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd";

This is documented on the XQuery wikibook at:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/XQuery/eXist_Crib_sheet#output_XHTML_document

Feel free to add other processors to the XQuery wikibook.

This seems like a valid approach for any XQuery processor, though it does seem like "ugly" XQuery. Without setting the response type using XQuery extensions, the following works in strict XQuery mode in MarkLogic:
