[xsl] document() call clashes with DOCTYPE declaration?

[Greg Faron <gfaron@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Short:
  How does one "close" a DOCTYPE assignment tag?

Long version:
  I'm running MSXSL4.0 (within XML Spy) and am trying to use document() 
within the XSL to read in about 40 different files.  Below is the first of 
them in its entirety.

  I receive the following error:

XSL Transformation failed due to following error:
Error while parsing "file:///M:/books/wiley/lax/xml/c01.xml". A declaration 
was not closed.

when I try to execute this call:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <xsl:variable name="c01" select="document('c01.xml')/JWSCHA/JWSBHD/CHACON"/>
  <xsl:value-of select="$c01/CHAINFO/SEQINBOK/@SEQNO"/>
</xsl:template>

matched against a dummy file with an empty root node.

  Has anyone seen this before and know what to do about it?  When I remove 
the DOCTYPE line (and the &copy; entity reference), it works fine.  How do 
you close a <!DOCTYPE> tag?
