Hi folks,

I've been searching around the web but can't find
an answer to what I assume is a FAQ:

How do you specify an HTML doctype when using the
XSLT "Literal Result Element as Stylesheet"
<http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#result-element-stylesheet>?

You can't just use an HTML DTD at the top of your
stylesheet because the HTML DTD does not allow XSL
elements and you can't use xsl:output in Literal
Result Element stylesheets to workaround.

You need an HTML DTD or else browsers won't render
XHTML transitional output correctly....

If you can't do this, then the HTML examples in
section 2.3 of the XSLT 1.0 spec are *very*
misleading...
