just specify the standard xhtml dtd using doctype-system and
doctype-public in xsl:output.

that would be automatic so long as you take a bit of care over empty
element syntax.

well it's in the standard HTML dtd which is why I suggest use that, but
_why_ has your file got nbsp in it, you must have had to work hard to
get that, if you had just let XSL put it out as character data you would
not have had this problem.

er you didn't say what your input was, but it was the wrong thing:-)
I meant use
doctype-system="...the uri to the xhtml dtd ..."
