  Seems related to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=62458
Section 16.2 of the spec on HTML Output Method says that DOCTYPE
must be generated if  the doctype-public or doctype-system attributes
are specified. But I don't know if it should not be generated if
not specified.
  Can someone check with Saxon and others XSLT processors and tell me
if they output a DOCTYPE when xsl:output with method="html" is specified
without doctype-public and doctype-system,

  TIA,

Daniel
