I'm surprised that should work; I would have expected the "<" to be escaped
by the serializer, leading to the result

& lt ; ! DOCTYPE

(ignore spaces)

Most products will let you set serialization parameters in the same way as
XSLT, but using product-specific syntax (for example "declare option", or
something in the API).
