That would be inconsistent with your specified output dtd which was for
HTML4 which doesn't use a namespace (not being XML) Not that XSLT
checks this consistency.

It is conformant behaviour to ignore xsl:output (it is essentially just
a hint to teh serialiser) but whether or not it is normal in your case
you'd need to be more explict about how you are calling xslt I think.

Yes XSLT has to be well formed XML and you can't have <!DOCTYPE inside
an element

> (again, this is the doctype form I am trying to achieve)
so you want to use xsl:output as noted above and you don't want to use
the xhtml namespace declaration.
