I want to ensure my HTML generated from an XSL stylesheet contains a DOCTYPE
declaration.

Is the correct approach to use CDATA, as in the example below?

Should using a namespace like <html:html
xmlns:html='http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40'> generate a DOCTYPE
declaration?

Yours
Jon

<?xml version='1.0'?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl";
	xmlns:fo="http://www.w3.org/TR/WD-xsl/FO";
		result-ns="html" indent-result="yes">
<xsl:template match='/'>
   <xsl:text><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//IETF//DTD HTML
2.0//EN">]]></xsl:text>
    <html>
    <head><title>My Doc</title></head>
    <body>
    <xsl:process-children/>
  </body>
  </html>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
