the only way to write an internal subset without using processor extensions is to write all of

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <!DOCTYPE targetset SYSTEM "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/commontargetdatabase.dtd" [> <!ENTITY MyDoc SYSTEM "MyDoc.db"> ]>

as text using disable-output-escaping, or (better) character maps.

A better (for xslt) solution is to specify an external dtd subset say

<!DOCTYPE targetset SYSTEM "mydocbook.dtd">

which you can specify using xsl:output, then you can write mydocbook.dtd using xsl:result-document text method, so it looks like

<!ENTITY % dbk SYSTEM "http://docbook.sourceforge.net/release/xsl/current/commontargetdatabase.dtd"> %dbk; <!ENTITY MyDoc SYSTEM "MyDoc.db"> ....
