RE: [xsl] PHP XSL adds Content-Type meta

["Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

XSLT 1.0 specifies that when you use the HTML output method, the serializer
will add a <meta> element containing the media type and encoding. This
normally causes no problems, because the encoding is known at this point
(it's the responsibility of the serializer to get it right). XSLT 2.0
however does allow you to switch this behaviour off using <xsl:output
include-content-type="no"> - this can be useful if you want to transcode the
document after serialization and before HTTP delivery.

Your snippet suggests you are using method="xml"; if that's the case then no
<meta> element should be added.
