Addendum: I now use the root node, the starting element and CDATA sections
to generate the new doctype, instead of omnimark:

<xsl:template match="/">
	<xsl:choose>
		<xsl:when test="bva.grp">
			<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE VALUE-ADD.GROUP PUBLIC
"-//Brooker's//DTD Brooker's Legislation Value-Add Group//EN">]]></xsl:text>
		</xsl:when>	
		<xsl:when test="act">
			<xsl:text
disable-output-escaping="yes"><![CDATA[<!DOCTYPE ACT PUBLIC
"-//Brooker's//DTD Brooker's Act//EN">]]></xsl:text>
		</xsl:when>
etc
