I was mildly surprised to discover that comments and PIs are allowed before
the DOCTYPE declaration.
The DOCTYPE declaration is newly created by the serializer, it is not a copy
of the DOCTYPE declaration in your source document. It will always precede
any nodes that are present in the result tree. There's no way to control
this. I can't imagine any circumstances where you really need to generate
comments and PIs before the DOCTYPE declaration.

Subject: [xsl] order in the xml prolog
I have a modified identity transform which is translating a
few element names, and it's performing that task admirably.
However the output XML has also switched the order of
elements in the xml prolog.
Two questions:
1) Does it really matter?
2) How do I modify the identity template to get the original order?
I am able to use either Saxon or xsltproc (libxml). Both
transpose the PI and the DTD.
Input xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<?xml-stylesheet href="../../utils/doc2html.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "../../utils/docs.dtd">
<document>
<title id="Lab156">Boxes</title>
<include srcfile="boxes_intro.xml"/>
<include srcfile="boxes_items.xml"/>
</document>
xsl:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<xsl:stylesheet version="1.0"
xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform";>
<xsl:output doctype-system="../../utils/docs.dtd"
method="xml" encoding="UTF-8" />
<xsl:preserve-space elements="*" />
<!-- identity -->
<xsl:template match="node()|@*">
<xsl:copy>
<xsl:apply-templates select="@*|node()" />
</xsl:copy>
</xsl:template>
<!-- translate various code elements into a standard set -->
<!-- skipped -->
</xsl:stylesheet>
Output xml:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE document SYSTEM "../../utils/docs.dtd">
<?xml-stylesheet href="../../utils/doc2html.xsl" type="text/xsl"?>
<document>
<title id="Lab156">Boxes</title>
<include srcfile="boxes_intro.xml"/>
<include srcfile="boxes_items.xml"/>
</document>
