For this to happen <B> must be the root element of your output, eg:

<xsl:template match="/">
  <B>
    ...

You need to post a small complete example stylesheet that causes this
problem so it can be recreated, eg

<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>

<xsl:output omit-xml-declaration="no" doctype-system="C:\A.dtd"/>

<xsl:template match="/">
  <B></B>
</xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>
