dtd reference
Hi Mark,

If by "DTD reference" you mean a DOCTYPE declaration's SYSTEM and/or PUBLIC identifiers, the short answer is (sadly) "no".

You can specify a string value for these identifiers in the doctype-system and doctype-public attributes on xsl:output, but they have to be string literals, they can't be copied from the input. (The parser doesn't preserve these values for the processor in any case, so there's nowhere to copy them from.)

Workarounds include using literal values (which must be known to the stylesheet in advance) and post-processing.

Cheers,
Wendell
