You can always get xsl:output to to stick a doctype back on. > As an aside, from what you've just said, if the DTD expects a > namespace declaration but that namespace is redundant and gets > removed, the document would no longer validate after the identity > transform (if the DTD was generated in the output). yes, if you wrote a dtd that demands xmlns="" on every element then process it through xslt identity transform you will get no xmlns="" at all in the output. Tough:-) You can make it validate again by making the dtd default the namespace back.
