If you move to a more recent version of Saxon, you'll find that setting
doctype-system="" (or doctype-public="") has the effect of setting the
attribute to null, overriding a non-null setting on an imported value.
This implements erratum E31 to the XSLT 2.0 specification.

hi-
i have a document A that imports document B.
in the<xsl:output> instruction, document B specifies doctype-public and
doctype-system attributes. in document A, i want to disable output of doctypes, as
we add the doctype declaration at another point in our production pipeline (ie, not
in the xsl).
here's the relevant code for document A (importing):
<xsl:output
method="html"
indent="no"
encoding="UTF-8"
omit-xml-declaration="yes"/>
and here's the relevant code for document B (imported):
<xsl:output
method="html"
indent="yes"
encoding="UTF-8"
doctype-public="-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN"
doctype-system="http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd"/>
simply omitting the doctype statements in the importing document does not disable the
output of doctype statements. according to michael kay's book, a specified attribute
within<xsl:output> takes precedence over an omitted attribute, regardless of
which document it's in (importing or imported).
i have tried adding a name attribute to the importing statement, to try to create a new output definition,
with no success. i have also tried using doctype-public="" and doctype-system="" in the
importing document, but these simply output a doctype statement with a "" value.
is there a way to completely disable the output of these statements in the
resulting html, given that i can't modify the imported document?
i'm using saxon 8.7, and xsl 2.0.
any insight into this issue would be much appreciated.
thanks-
lynn
