Subject: RE: [xsl] order in the xml prolog From: "Michael Kay" <mike@xxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Tue, 20 Nov 2007 15:16:02 -0000 |
I was mildly surprised to discover that comments and PIs are allowed before the DOCTYPE declaration. The DOCTYPE declaration is newly created by the serializer, it is not a copy of the DOCTYPE declaration in your source document. It will always precede any nodes that are present in the result tree. There's no way to control this. I can't imagine any circumstances where you really need to generate comments and PIs before the DOCTYPE declaration.
