I would say that unless you absolutely have to, don't bother. If you
need the XML validated again at a subsequent step then do it in that
step, rather than each and every time the XML is parsed...
If you do really have to :) then you could use LexEv
(http://andrewjwelch.com/lexev/) which will add the values as
processing instructions to the input, for example:
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd">
will become:
<?doctype-public -//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN?>
<?doctype-system http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd?>
which you can then use like this:
<xsl:result-document
doctype-public="{processing-instruction('doctype-public')}"
doctype-system="{processing-instruction('doctype-system')}">
LexEv is also part of Kernow, so to try this out just enable it in the
options.
