>Summary: epub: Wrong DOCTYPE declaration in files of ePub output

Initial Comment:
I create ePub output from the attached DocBook 5 XML file using DocBook XSL 1.76.1. The output ePub file is not valid because the files content.opf, toc.ncx and container.xml contain a wrong DOCTYPE declaration. The content.opf.file starts with:

<!DOCTYPE package
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

and the toc.ncx file starts with:

<!DOCTYPE ncx
PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

and container.xml starts with:

<!DOCTYPE container
  PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.1//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml11/DTD/xhtml11.dtd">

This is wrong because they are not XHTML files.

I get the same wrong DOCTYPE declaration with both the Saxon 6.5 transformer and the Xalan one. I used the following command lines for creating the output ePub file:

- Saxon 6.5:

java -cp saxon.jar com.icl.saxon.StyleSheet  -o output.html  docbook5.xml  docbook1.76.1/xsl/epub/docbook.xsl

- Xalan:

java -cp xalan.jar org.apache.xalan.xslt.Process  -out output.html  -in docbook5.xml  -xsl docbook1.76.1/xsl/epub/docbook.xsl

Message:
I tried both the Saxon command line and the Xalan one with both the NS
(namespace-stripping) version of the DocBook XSL 1.76.1 stylesheets and the
simple version (no namespace stripping). The wrong DOCTYPE declarations
inserted at the beginning of the files are the same in all cases.
