It is definitely at an XSL transform. The DITA Open Toolkit uses a
number of XSL transforms in a ordered pipeline to create its outputs.
Our specific implementation of the DITA Open Toolkit has added a few XSL
transforms to the beginning and end of this pipeline. Since the input
and output files are retained for most of these transforms, I can get a
better idea of where the duplication occurs.

The interesting thing is that it doesn't happen for every XSL transform.
The output files from the preprocessing transforms that we added do not
have the duplication. The duplication occurs in one of the transforms in
the middle of the DITA Open Toolkit processing. Unfortunately, the DITA
Open Toolkit doesn't leave the intermediate input/output files hanging
around when it runs so I have yet to determine the precise transform(s)
that are causing the problem. I'll have to edit a few of the Ant scripts
to leave these artifacts intact.

Following Michael's suggestion, I'll concentrate on how the files are
serialized during these individual transforms.
