[jdom-interest] XSL transformations and missing doctypes

[Per Norrman]

Hi,

Are you specifying the doctype using the xsl:ouput element? In that
case, note that the xsl:output element is only applicable when
the XSLT processor is generating XML from the result tree.

Since you are transforming into xhtml, you can easily set
the doctype after the transformation is completed.
