Yes, but in the age of compound documents with elements from multiple 
namespaces DTDs and related machinery (including !DOCTYPE) is simply 
insufficient and obsolete.

Output of XSLT transformation doesn't have to be valid, it even doesn't 
have to be well-formed. XSLT only guarantee well-balanced output (you 
can generate document with multiple root elements which breaks 
well-formdness). If you want to be sure that output of transformation is 
valid, you must either validate generated documents or use XSLT 2.0 with 
schema aware XSLT processor and reference target schema from stylesheet. 
But here I probably diverted to much from the topic of this mailing 
list. Sorry for that.
