The newer (more compliant) Mozilla versions do this, too. This
works for me:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet 
  xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0"
  xmlns:cvs="http://www.cvshome.org/docs/manual/cvs_12.html";
  cvs:id="$Id: index.xsl,v 1.9 2003/06/14 13:34:20 dbibbens Exp $"> 

  <xsl:output 
    method="xml"
    media-type="text/html"
    doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Strict//EN" 
    doctype-system="DTD/xhtml1-strict.dtd"
    cdata-section-elements="script style"
    encoding="ISO-8859-1"/>

  <xsl:template match="/">
    <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"; 
      cvs:id="$Id: index.xsl,v 1.9 2003/06/14 13:34:20 dbibbens Exp$">
      ...
    </html>
  </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
