If !DOCTYPE is required for HTML then it should allow specifying public
identifier. Otherwise you will not be able to generate HTML5 by XSLT --
in XSLT you can either omit <!DOCTYPE completely or output it with
public/system identifier(s):
http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#section-HTML-Output-Method
In XSLT you are not able to output just:
<!DOCTYPE html>
This is serious limitation of HTML5 as amount of content produced by
XSLT is enormous. <!DOCTYPE html> should be either optional, or it
should be possible to specify something like <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "...">.
