I'd've thought exactly the opposite: "XSLT-compat" is somewhat self-documenting, indicating that this is XSLT-compatible HTML. Whereas "PUBLIC ''" is a cryptic bit of boilerplate with no obvious purpse -- which could therefore lead to the fears Henri mentioned, of people thinking it's needed for reasons other than XSLT compatibility and including it unnecessarily.
