As far as I can tell, there is no way to make XSLT 1.0 or 2.0 output the HTML 5 DOCTYPE. For example, <xsl:output method="html"/> results in no doctype at all. <xsl:output method="html" doctype-public="" /> results in <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "">, and it it appears pretty clearly stated this is correct in XSLT 1.0 [1] I can't find anywhere in XSLT 2.0 that explicitly says that resulting doctype should be correct, but it seems pretty well implied. Should there be a way for XSLT to output the HTML 5 DOCTYPE? If so, where should that be specified? Incidentally, <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC ""> triggers css1compat mode in the browsers I tested. Also, an XSLT stylesheet that starts with a literal result element, such as: <!DOCTYPE HTML> <html xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" xmlns=" http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xsl:version="1.0"> ... resulted in no DOCTYPE at all. [1] http://www.w3.org/TR/xslt#output I ran these tests using PHP5's XSL Functions, which uses libxslt, http://xmlsoft.org/XSLT/ -- Jon Barnett
