My XSL-FO output is getting a doctype.  This is because the parent xsl

output of type xml at the fo template level, and I am matching on root
"/", shouldn't the doctype be snuffed?

Serialization is separate from result tree building, which is different from source tree matching.

Matching on the root node *of the source tree* declares the construction template of nodes *for the result tree*. Serialization guides how the result tree is realized as angle brackets.

The <xsl:output> defines aspects of serialization of the result tree, regardless of how the result tree is built.

I hope this helps.
