Hello All,

I modified the transformer @ http://validate.sf.net to
include the XHTML Doctype declaration to the HTML output. The
HTML output can now be validated using W3's HTML validator.

However I noticed that Norman Walsh's DocBook XSLT includes the following
tag in the transformed document.
<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ......

I think the XML Namespace can only be declared in <html/> tag for e.g.:
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
is the correct way to declare the namespace.

<meta xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" ...... is what Norman Walsh's
XSLT produce, which I think is incorrect. I might be wrong.

Any ideas? Any thoughts?

Thanks.
