Re: where does one stick the doctype?

Hi Eliot,

I understand that a DOCTYPE declaration can contain any valid element in
the DTD.  But I'm wondering if there's a way that XSL can insert this
element name when it creates the declaration via xsl:output or
xsl:document.

There is no concept of "top-level element" DTDs--any element in the
declaration set can be a root element. So just name the one you want.

The closest you can get to defining top-level elements is elements that
are not allowed in any other content models. But you could have any
number of those in a given declaration set.

Cheers,

Eliot
