Like the rest of the prolog, entity and character references, what kind of quotes delimit attribute values, insignificant whitespace for indenting, etc., it is an artifact of serialization after the transformation is complete. You can cause a DOCTYPE to be added to the serialized output by adding doctype-public="..." and/or doctype-system="..." to the <xsl:output> element, with the "..." filled in with the public ID or system ID that you want to go into the DOCTYPE. You cannot produce a DOCTYPE that has an internal DTD subset. > but can't get it to render correctly - get errors like: > > --- > XML error > Cannot have a DOCTYPE declaration outside of a prolog. > --- > > I have tried sticking it everywhere I can think... XSLT has a spec at http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-xslt ... you may find that searching for "doctype" in there is a better learning strategy than trial and error. > using MSXML as the parser for xml and xslt...

Is this normal? or ok? No, it's not normal. It sounds like you may be using an obsolete version of MSXML, or invoking deprecated, pre-XSLT 1.0 APIs. The binding of the string 'http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform' to the prefix 'xsl' is supposed to indicate that elements whose names are prefixed with 'xsl' are XSLT instructions. The processor is apparently not recognizing them as such, and is treating them as it would any other literal result element -- an indication that perhaps it is not an XSLT 1.0 processor at all.
