I wouldn't be bothered too much by this. IMHO this seems to be caused by
defining these entities twice (or something of the sort). If you really want
to do away with these, I think you'll need to go looking for the places
where the entities are defined, and remember that all of the above need not
be explicitly mentioned (standard XML entities). If you did somewhere, the
processor is probably just letting you know that it will use the implicit
XML entities instead of those that were explicitly defined. (Maybe the XHTML
DTDs redefine them anyway, I'm not sure, but if they do that seems
superfluous...)

? and you're sure this is specified nowhere in the source file(s) ?

Can you check for this? Frankly, I haven't got a clue why such would be
added during the transformation without being somehow implied in the source
or the processing template.

Maybe someone else here can shed some light on this?

The only way to do so ATM (--meaning XSL 1.0) is like you did:

<xsl:output method="xml" .../>

since XHTML is basically XML.
